PHARMACIST STEVE

This is a trailer of what is promised to be a longer video focusing on the realty of what – mostly chain pharmacists & techs – are dealing with on a day to day basis.

Here is another very sad story of a mid-40’s female Pharmacist that did not get to finish her shift … UPDATED: CVS Pharmacist: dies on the job from Cardiac MI – forced to wait for relief pharmacist to show up

I knew a young pharmacist – years ago – at a big box store that committed suicide… I have heard of a Rx staff member(s) curled up in the fetal position in the corner of the Rx dept – SOBBING !!

I am sure that the things that I heard about, is just a small percentage of the reality of what is going on in these chain Rx depts.

This is not a few exceptions to the rule… several months ago a number chain pharmacists – up in the New England area… that they were TEN DAYS BEHIND in filling Rxs… and they were being told by the District Manager to JUST FOCUS ON THE WAITERS…

I feel so sorry for all these chain pharmacies employees and I can’t understand why pts continue to patronize these chain pharmacies and don’t seem to understand just how much they are putting their health at risk.

This makes me so grateful for the independent pharmacy that is about one mile from our house. Over the last year, with all the chain pharmacies around the area failing to open some days and/or only a few hours a day when they could find a Pharmacist and tech that would come in and work a shift. Our Independent has had to add a tech to the staff, because apparently some of those pts patronizing the chain pharmacies found out that there was a better alternative.
