Pharmacies aren't obligated to fill any prescription, correct? I see it as a retail store who doesn't have to sell anything to anyone if it does not want to. Also, I saw pharmacy malpractice mentioned in the article. The only thing I could see as malpractice would be to fill the wrong prescription or the wrong dose for a patient. Thoughts?
Just because you have the right to not fill doesn't always release you from liability for harm caused by actions not taken. Several years ago a cancer patient sued Wags in my hometown and was awarded some big amount for pain and suffering. She had apparently tried to fill some narcotic pain med overnight and got declined. There are other cases out there.
I can tell you if anyone tried to sue us, i would turn right around and sue the Federal Govt for putting us in this position. I get 50 bottles a month of any oxy product which includes oxycontin, oxycodone all strengths. Determining who needs it is not my job.
Don't sue the Feds. You won't win.
ehhhh...im just saying...
Likewise ...
venting...
