However, do we know the hidden cost? To give an example, I know of a recent situation where a blood thinner was prescribed for a child that was a massive overdose. A very good pharmacists, and a well run pharmacy contacted me for help and we worked it out and got the care corrected. That could have been a disaster. That is why the pharmacist exists.
Oh yeah I know why we have pharmacists and although I am an AMZN shareowner and customer I do not use their pharmacy service. I’m just curious I guess whether you think they eat CVS and Walgreen or do they further cut into the independent business or some of both? Or do they just fail?
During the pandemic, especially pre-vaccine, I was very happy to have the option of my meds being mailed to me. Not bothering now since they started charging for it.
Don't believe everything you think.
