Posted on: When drugs bring harm not healing

I am sorry for your loss and I do blame Dr. Buckwalter. And there is a way to see if a patient is going to multi pharmacys and multi doctors but when we call the doctors and tell them they say just give the patient the meds. So in that case we as a pharmacy dont fill it and refuse and give the rx back. But since the doctor says give it to them they just to to another pharmacy that dont check that list to see if they have a problem and they get it there. This all falls on the doctors not the pharmacys. I am sorry for all the familys the have lost loved ones cause of all of this but you cant blame the pharmacys for doing there job. Blame the doctor who i know for a fact say just give it to them when we call and say there is a problem. I have tried to help people. And I have told people to be careful taking these type of meds but when the doctors keep giving it to them what can I do.

You cant blame the pharmacys if the person is going to multi pharmacys and different companys. We cant keep track of that. And were does the family come in and take responsiblity for not noticing that something was wrong. You expect a pharmicist to notice. We dont know the patient history like the doctors do. So we dont know if there is problems or abuse. When we see problems we call the doctors and let them know. we do what we can and what we are allowed but we are limited also.

Re: Lola and Northsider

Pharmacies are not to blame. They dont have any control what the doctor give to the patient. If the doctor write they fill it. If the pharmacist refuses to fill the rx they just go to another pharmacy. So it all falls on Dr. Buckwalter he shouldn't be prescribing so many narcotics to patients. All the pharmacy can do is refuse to fill it and then the patient moves on to the next pharmacy.
