Tired of this roundy round. A pharmacist is a public official, like a doctor, a pilot or a surveyor. He or she has to complete schooling, pass a test and take an oath. Here is the oath.

"At this time, I vow to devote my professional life to the service of all humankind through the profession of pharmacy.

I will consider the welfare of humanity and relief of human suffering my primary concerns.

I will apply my knowledge, experience, and skills to the best of my ability to assure optimal drug therapy outcomes for the patients I serve.

I will keep abreast of developments and maintain professional competency in my profession of pharmacy. I will maintain the highest principles of moral, ethical and legal conduct.

I will embrace and advocate change in the profession of pharmacy that improves patient care.

I take these vows voluntarily with the full realization of the responsibility with which I am entrusted by the public."

Notice it makes no reference to "God" but it does mention responsibility, and "moral, ethical and legal conduct."

Legal. A prescription is a legal document, as binding as a contract or a survey. You may not realize it but land surveys are the actual basis for all other property law.

Similarly, a pharmacist's oath is one of the basis' of the medical system. The pharmacist has a legal obligation, a moral obligation, and an ethical obligation to fulfill the doctor's orders in a timely and correct manner. He cannot refuse a prescription, and if the patient suffers harm from mis-filling or refusing to fill the valid prescription of a licensed doctor, it is his liablility.

The same as if he knowingly filled an invalid prescription. If a patient dies because he read 300mg, when the doctor wrote 30mg, he can go to jail. If he refuses to fill a prescription, because the patient is black or female or an illegal immigrant or because Jesus told him not to, he is liable to criminal action.

If he refused to fill a prescription for Birth Control and the patient became pregnant, he would be liable. He could get Jesus to pay the damages, but i don't know where he would cash the check.

And i want to know why some churches are so eager to have a constant supply of under educated, poor children in the world. Is it because they fear the defeat of their doctrines in an educated world?
