How many of you pharmacists out there felt pressured to get their pr-scrip-ion volume up by any means possible by their spineless district managers 7 to 12 years ago? The funny thing is that Walmart's defense in this case is that it is wrong for the pharmacist to come between the patient and their doctor and that they were morally obligated to fill those o—id pr-scrip-ions no matter how questionable. So after they figured out they were going to be sued for doing exactly what they were doing they then did an about face and forced their pharmacists to refuse to fill perfectly valid pr-scrip-ions so they could then tell the government that they were guardian angel protecting America from the scourge of the o—id crisis. By doing so, they were now forcing their pharmacists to come between the patient and their doctor on mostly perfectly legitimate o—id pr-scrip-ions for post-surgical patients. This is exactly what their defense says that they couldn't do in the first place.
I love it!
It's the Walmart way!
Please let the government call me as a witness.
Burn baby, burn!
