That being said, how is it that future pharmacists are unaware of this phenomenon considering the high number of both intern and extern hours they have to complete during their program of studies? From my experience, most (if not all) of my pharmacy friends also spent QUITE a bit of time working retail pharmacy prior to graduating/becoming licensed. Like I said, I'm not a pharmacist and thus could be quite naive about this BUT...I'm often confused as to how lists like this come as such a surprise to those who work in retail pharmacy. Were the drawbacks of retail pharmacy kept secret from you as you toiled away all those many, many hours doing intern/extern hours, only to be revealed to you once you obtained your BSPh or PharmD and started working?<br /><br />Perhaps this explains why the majority of my friends from college work as pharmacists in hospitals?<br /><br />And, please don't misunderstand me...I LOVE the pharmacy where I go and completely understand the utter crap you have to endure - let's be honest, most of the uneducated public treats you like a glorified cashier - but, many people I encounter seem to be in utter amazement as to how frustrating retail pharmacy can be. And that's the part I don't understand...how did one NOT know?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
