Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Yeah, I remember that crazy shit. That is just so wild - get a prescription from a doctor and have some dipshit who just needs to count out pills decide they need to veto that decision?
The fucking audacity.
You would be surprised how many prescriptions need to be vetoed by those dipshit pill counters to protect patient safety. That being said, if any medical provider refuses to provide a legitimate treatment that is medically necessary (such as plan B or abortion pills) and not with excessive risk, they need to choose a new profession.
Yes, you are correct. The way it's supposed to work is a good idea. And calling them pill counters is not fair on my part.
What enrages me however is that these people think they get to pass moral judgement on patients as part of their job function and there is no way that is how it is supposed to work.
Is there a reason why the doctors can't provide the medicine directly? Where I'm from, you go to a clinic, see a doctor and collect your medicine right after. No need for a pharmacist or anyone else who could get in your way of getting the medicine you need.
Medicine is full of specialization, and pharmacists are more well trained in how drugs work and their interactions. Doctors may default to "blood needs thinned, take blood thinners" without considering how all of the patients other prescriptions may interact with blood thinners.
They also act as another layer of oversight, preventing issues caused by typos and verifying the dosage is correct for the patient.
