I think patients should have some kind of recourse against pharamcists who publicly berate them for having certain prescriptions or tear up the prescriptions. I know there isn't a whole lot of privacy when you go get a prescription filled, but most places are very discreet about fililng things and there's no way anyone should know why I'm getting something filled.

I wonder if anyone has called the police, citing theft and/or destruction of personal property when a pharmacist has kept/destroyed a prescription.
Similarly, askye's comment just made me realize that a pharmacist berating a customer for Drug X in anything other than a private area is a HIPAA violation.
Hmmmm....

Do pharmacists have a professional organization of some sort to which they can be reported? I know they have to be licensed, but I don't know who handles that.

The American Pharmacists' Association, I imagine.

The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), which I suppose acts as a liaison between each state's pharmacy board.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Is part of a job of a pharmacistto notice that a customer is takeing perscriptions that conflict with each other. If so, what is the proper response. Bring it to the customer's attention? If it is a pick up later should they call the doctor? Or is the fact that I am looking carefully at everything I am takeing my only backup? I guess I am wondering if that might be a legitamite time that one could refuse to fill a perscription.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Good point about the D&C and medical students. I'm going to look for more info on that because it's the same precedure and it would be negligence if a doctor flat out didn't learn to do it when it's required with a non-elective abortion.

My scripts all have my name, phone number, address and SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER on them from my doc's office. If a pharmacist refused to give me my paper script back, I'd dial 911 and have their ass arrested on the spot.
