The move to mail order pharmacies that started way back in the 80s has been a huge problem, and it has only gotten worse with time. More and more forces keep pushing toward that model....bigger, cheaper, etc.
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.
