Please tell me you haven't gone your entire life thinking the word "overrule" is actually the two words "over rude."

I just want to help.

Misoprostol is not common stock at all so it would have been hard to find


Then how come I was able to walk in my local Walgreens and drop this prescription off and pick it up 20 minutes later after killing time at the grocery store next door?

I don’t think you understand how many Walgreens there are out here. They are the dominant free standing pharmacy in PHX metro(where this incident happened).


ETA: also....read her fb post. She found out on a Tuesday and decided on the med then instead of a D&C. Why is she going to pick up the medication on a Thursday night? 2 days after she is prescribed the medication?

Salmon and i are on opposite sides of the argument. My wife is also a pharmacist.

And let me say that my thing is that this woman has every right to be irrational and angry, but going on FB and CNN is not the proper way.

If the pharmacist immediately sent the prescription to another pharmacist to fill then he followed protocol. If he didn't, then he would be subject to disciplinary action by WAGs. The AZ board of pharmacy has no cause to do anything to the pharmacist.

Isn't she the boards resident female pharmacist?

Yeah but she doesn’t live in PHX.


I’m just trying to say that med is likely more stocked in the Walgreens here than wherever she is.

ETA: And to point out the numerous Walgreens locations here that would make finding one with the med stocked much easier.

I don't know what side you guys think I'm on.

I'll clarify my position, I guess.

I believe the pharmacist has the absolute right to deny the prescription for whatever reason.

I also believe that the pharmacist failed at his duties as a pharmacist when he allows his personal convictions to overrules his duties to the customer.

I also believe the woman is being an attention whore by going on CNN.

They just so happened to have it. It’s not regularly carried stock everywhere.

I think I do understand how many Walgreens are there are. They are like the crawfish holes in a low field in every city.

What’s your point?

I edited my post and it pretty much mirrors yours. As a WAGs employee he has the right to deny for ethical reasons, so I am ok with that. If he didn't follow protocol that is a problem.

They don't put themselves at conflict with their convictions because they have every right to deny a patient an elective abortion, as they should.

Let's step back and look at this outside the abortion context. Do you think a pain specialist should be force to euthanize someone if they find it to be morally wrong?

No.

What is with all this "forcing" stuff? Where are y'all getting this?

Because it is traumatic and you aren't thinking rationally, and you are in denial, and you hope it will all just go away.

You said you don't think an OBGYN should take a job where there is a possibility that they might have to decline to perform a procedure that would conflict with their religious views. I'm merely pointing out how stupid this is.

There are plenty jobs where there is potential for conflict between the job and religious views. Fortunately, most jobs allow the practitioner to decline service except in rare circumstances.

There could be a variety of different reasons. It’s not like it affects what happened.
