Good news for those of you who might ever have to deal with a pharmacist who thinks his/her personal beliefs outweigh your right to have your prescriptions issued as written. The Obama administration has rescinded the Bush administration regulations that allow the refusal of treatment or refusal to fill prescriptions on moral or religious grounds.
If you can’t do the job, get a new job. A pharmacist’s job is to fill the prescription as written and counsel the patient on possible drug interactions or side effect (evidence-based only, no speculation). Plain and simple.
I’m calling this one a triumph of individual rights and secular sense over the religious dogma that has been running rampant in this country.
