Sometimes I wonder what will have to happen for the state boards of pharmacy to be regulated or taken over by another entity. The whole compounding issue in Mass. and the rubber stamping of whatever the chains want is disgusting. Also, I have to laugh at this line:
"When the pharmacist leaves, the public can look at the computer screens or at labeled bottles of medicine on their desk, the organization said. About 80 percent of the stores visited violated privacy laws in this way, the group alleged."
So the pharmacist will be working on the floor in the middle of the store with everything viewable? I guess they can lock the screen and have a little box to put scripts in, but this seems like a bad idea. Also, who will be watching the techs? They don't pay them anything in retail, so I could see there being a lot of theft.
