BTW, where did I say you were religious or were against same-sex marriage, etc.?

oops, I missed the "and", sorry.

The rest still stands.

Sure, fine, nutxo. I'm a bigot. I'm intolerant of the intolerant so, therefore, I'm a bigot. I have irrational opinions of people who have irrational opinions.

Your religious beliefs belong in your church and your own damn home, you dont impose your morals onto others.

With a statement as absurd as that, its no wonder that people of higher moral character try to 'force' their morals on others. You obviously need it.

Not to mention, your sexual practices belong in your bedroom, you do not impose your own immorality onto others. [this statement was not specifically directed at anyone]

You saying homosexual marriage is immoral compared to heterosexual marriage (I am assuming that is what you are implying) is like me saying that green is morally wrong, whereas blue is right. Why? Because it's what I believe. "Morals" are relative, just like everything else in the universe.

As for this pharmacist, yay for him for standing up for what he believed in. He kinda screwed up when he refused to transfer the prescription, though. If he had no intention of filling it, why did he take it from her in the first place? Maybe I'll go down there and ask the pharmacists working the counter. I'm about 5 minutes from that K-mart right now. haha.

Having a prescription only means the pharmacy has a right to sell you a drug. It doesn't mean the pharmacy has to sell you the drug. It is that simple.

What about when the pharmacy actually accepts the prescription (they've had it there before...she was just refilling it) but refuses to give it to you?

That's what this is about.

Enough of the diversions.

A prescription is not a physical object. The piece of paper it is written on is just a representation of a prescription. She could have her doctor call a prescription in to any pharmacy. The pharmacist taking a piece of paper if he did that does not mean she doesn;t have the prescription anymore.

No, the exact opposite.

Your rights end where mine begin.

I feel sorry for your kids.

We can only hope bigots don't breed.

LOL, go look at the definition of bigot , then look in the mirror.

Bigots are people with an irrational opinion. Much like yourself and people opposed to same-sex marriage and opposed to teaching safe sex techniques in schools.

That pharmacist was a complete and utter fool and anyone who seeks to push their own moral views upon myself can take a hike.

Keep Thy Religion To Thyself.

Is not teaching my kids any sex techniques in school pushing there/your views on my kids?

No, it's called educating them. It's reality.

Where does it say he took a piece of paper. Kind of hard to transfer a piece of paper to another pharmacy. They already had her prescription in the computer.

Actually schools shouldn't be teaching kids sexual techniques.

 

[conjur]

Ah...yeah...I glossed over that particular word there...should be 'education' following 'sex'.

Although, if high schools taught the Kama Sutra, we might have some happier people and longer lasting relationships.

First, it's not a law that says the Pharmacist must transfer the prescription, it's a regulation...very different. No criminal charges come with the violation. Very difficult to enforce. Federal Laws and regulations allow the transfer of a prescription from one pharmacy to another, but do not mandate it. The State laws for Pharmacies generally mirror the Federal laws and regulations, so nothing was on the books to compell the pharmacist to transfer the script, unless the Pharmacy Board regulations mandate it (which is unlikely in this case).

Second, we all are missing the fact that this person was so concerned with her birth control that she waited till she was out to fill it. Irresponsible? Perhaps. Short sighted? Maybe. Couldn't calling the Chief Pharmacist have solved the problem? Likely.

To label the Pharmacist, without knowing the whole story is wrong. Most Pharmacists know their customers. He may know something about this girl that he wasn't saying. Perhaps if everyone read BOTH sides to the argument, instead of accusing this one or that of crimes against everything (with no proof of anything) things might be clearer. My religious convictions prevent me from judging, and I'd wager that many (maybe most) on this forum are of the same religion that I was raised, at least in theory. There's a religious wacko statement to chew on......have fun........

They have a piece of data in their computer. That is their business.
She should ask them to delete it.
Now if she wants to have her prescription filled at another pharmacy she needs to call her doctor and have him call in a prescription to another pharmacy. I find it hard to believe that one pharmacy having her data in their computer precludes her from being able to get the prescription at another pharmacy. Especially for birth control pills in which getting a prescription is only a formality.

It was a weekend. How many doctors are in their offices on a weekend, eh?

Quit putting the blame on the woman when the pharmacist should have followed regulations.

 

[BugsBunny1078]

He should have transferred her prescription datum if the law said to do so.
She is the one making a stink out of it though so she is the one who will get some criticism.
Is she too stupid to call her doctors secretary and ask that the prescription be sent to another pharmacy rather than trying to get the police to get the prescription out of the computer for her? APparently it is one of those laws where it says such and such on the books but there is no delegated punishment for it so it is completely unenforceable.

I'm sure that the reason that it was a regulation, and not a law, is that it had never been a problem before. People would transfer the Rx out of common decency. You can rest assured, however, that now that someone has been such an arse about it, that it will become a law.

While I roll my eyes at the whole concept, I can respect his viewpoint. Fine, his beliefs won't allow him to fill it personally. It can be annoying, especially since that woman has gotten her birth control there before, but I can respect that. However, refusing to transfer the scrip goes beyond personal objection, and is actively denying someone there rights.

And the argument regarding the doctor/secretary is pretty much moot on a Sunday afternoon/evening. Most offices won't have anyone there to call.
