The American Pharmacists' Association, I imagine.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because books.
Do pharmacists have a professional organization of some sort to which they can be reported?
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.
I wonder if anyone has called the police, citing theft and/or destruction of personal property when a pharmacist has kept/destroyed a prescription.
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.

My brother-in-law is a pharmacist. (Who fills everything he's asked to, for the record. As far as I know.)
I know he's talked about having patients come in with conflicting scrips, usually prescribed by different doctors. I think he discusses it with the patient, and then usually calls the doctor to request something else (with the patient's knowledge). He would *not* simply say, "I can't fill this. Buh-bye."

Righty-oh, thanks.
The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP), which I suppose acts as a liaison between each state's pharmacy board.
OK, thanks.
Does anyone know if this sort of thing (refusing to fill BC or EC prescriptions) happens in other countries where birth control is a common, legal prescription?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.
The flip side of this being pharmacist who would be happy to fill out my BP prescription if only my jackass doctor would call them back about the refills, but was being so coy about not saying "birth control" that I couldn't figure out what the hell she was trying to explain to me. DUDE. If the patient can't understand your cute little code words? SAY BIRTH CONTROL.
Which reminds me, I need to call my doctor.
