The pharmacy has to account for where they went, so if a large amount went missing the pharmacist might be accused of taking them.Yes. and thats where the quandary of this situation sits, much like missing money-from a days till takings, 'cept we are talking drugs here.
The funny thing is, I only started going here recently, and struck up frendly contact with the chemist. He helped my (Potent-Benzo) drug-withdrawing as* out once, and lent me a couple of said-Benzo Tabs, til I got a script, to stop the shaking (no kidding, ugly situation, I was quickly going MAD) after the Doc had sent me away like this (nice ha?)
This Chemist-God bless him- helped me out, something the new Doc wouldn't do, and I bet my old Pharmacy (of 10 years+ business) probable wouldn't have either (I asked a fill-in Pharmacist there once-said "no, get a Script".
I would have told this Pharmacist what had happened, but there was someone else on, and she was kinda off-hand so...
I guess it pays to treat everyone well, you give what you get.
