It is definitely beyond the scope of their minimum wage jobs! Even the pharmacists shouldn't be doling out OTC drugs, in my opinion. But it could be much worse...particularly if the sell "homeopathics" or what they claim to be homeopathics. A lot more education is definitely needed there.

Walk-ins have overtaken the scene here, as GPs are really hard to find. Very hard to get any kind of care out of them. Last time I went to one with my mom so she could get an x-ray the wait for 4 hours long and she came home suffering from that experience. Last time I went to check out the possibility of a broken bone, I saw a young woman reacting to a bee sting be strapped up and carted away on an emergency ambulance, right to the hospital...and I saw her just long enough to know she could have avoided all that frenzy with a little dose of apis. "All this for a silly bee sting?" she cried, as she was wheeled out by a troupe of paramedics.

I know its off topic, but things could be a lot better!
