From The Mailbag. The Buckeye Board Of Pharmacy Figures It All Out. Way To Go Ohio.

Straight from the inbox. Complete and unedited:

Ever since CVS started their scorched earth policy regarding massive tech cuts the state board has received an increased percentage of complaints regarding prescription mis-fills. As the guardians of public safety(according to their mast head) they had no choice but to tackle this problem head on and come up with the appropriate solution; which of course they did.  From now on every pharmacist licensed in Ohio must now take  at least four(4) hours of continuing education consisting of "patient safety concerns when filling a prescription". 
This should definitely fix the problem of mis-fills.  We never practiced safety!  Who knew?

To be fair, this is only half of their safety solution. The other being the jailing of anyone guilty of making an error. Now that the second part of the plan is finally in place, you can breathe easily consumers of Ohio.

And by "consumers of Ohio" I of course mean "corporate bean counting assholes who are actually responsible for the problem." I doubt you had much worry they were going to inconvenience you in any way in order to keep people from experiencing preventable illness and death, but now you can rest assured you were right.

And to my friends left behind toiling for the chains, I'll say this is just the latest reason you need to get out. You know it as well as I do. I promise you you're not stuck there the way you feel you are. I made it out of that world and deep down.....you know you can too.

It won't get any better.
