Health

Likely unrelated, but I have increasingly become alarmed at the low level of knowledge of the typical grocery store pharmacists on emerging issues at the various chain grocers. They seem not to have any continuing education relative to new meds, supply chain shortages, emergent contraindications (unless it is programmed into their computer drug notices), CDC-specific recommendations, or the most general issues, but rather have to call their national or regional support staff on everything. I know this has become an issue with (at least) my state's pharmacy board and they are looking into it. It is as though heavily corporatized pharmacy chains don't WANT their pharmacists to think for themselves. Sigh...
