Question about problems of pharmacy

[eddie269]

Wanted some input on a few questions.

One of the reasons why I wanted to become a pharmacists was because of its high demand for the next decade or so. With so many people needing healthcare, I felt pharmacy was a good way to help out. Job security also a big plus.

However, what are the negative sides of pharmacy? I always hear about "rise in demand," or salaries are rising for pharmacists, and it's one of the more trusted/respected professions out there, etc when I read the brochures and websites. But I never hear the negative side.

So what are the problems that pharmacists will face in the upcoming years or the negative sides of being a pharmacist?

I just wanted to get stories from both sides of the pharmacy field spectrum. =)

Thanks

Answer to your question depends on whether your talking about Retail Pharmacy or Hospital Pharmacy.
Most negatives Ive seen with Retail Pharmacy =Alot of standing and you have to deal with the public all the time.
Negatives ive seen with Hospital Pharmacist = Some sort of ego power struggle between Physicians and Pharmacist even though I know of many cases where that is untrue...
