When she returns the pills it will be documented because they will have to account for her then being given the correct pills. This is documentation for the store and also for the prescrption insurance payment as well.

The documentation will show who made the error so if the pharmacist has a record of "mistakes" he will be punished accordingly. There is a board of pharmacy that deals with pharmacy errors... just like doctors when they screw up.

I got that information from my local pharmacist today when I was waiting for a prescription

That sounds how I hoped it would be. Thank you for passing on the info.

So I should do as you're implying and just dump them and run huh?

Strange how you would chastize people for sueing a Pharmacist for making a mistake that could potentially kill them but see little wrong in fathers dodging their responsibilities to their kids.

Perhaps the presumption was that you could just order your family to move back along with you?

I presumed a man of your charm and persuasion would just order the family back to the homeland. You're the one that says you wear the pants, man in the house, a woman's place and all that.

Hang on a minute....you were actually suggesting or at least implying earlier....now you are only presuming? I detect a bit of back peddling going on...or atleast a bit of damage limitation of your credibility.

Far from being Mr. Sensitive here, in one breath you were frowning on people that have the audacity to sue for getting the wrong drugs and being put in a possible life threatening suituation and then somewhat advocating absent fathers. Great sense of priorities there.

Want me to get you a few bumper stickers made up?

Good for you Mandana for approaching this rationally. It's true that too many are out for a quick buck, and we all pay in the end.

My best friend is a licensed physician, but has decided not to practice. "It isn't a matter of if I would be sued for malpractice, it's a matter of when" she told me. As an ob/gyn she would have take out $200,000 in malpractice insurance and maintain it for 18 years if she practiced one day. She once had a cousin of a patient tell her "if you screw it up we're suing you" when she was sewing a woman after a birth. Pissed her off something fierce.

I'm all for protecting people when things go terribly wrong - but that money doesn't come from the sky - we all end up footing the bill.
