I’m actually asking a legitimate question, not chastising you. The fact that you don’t know this is illegal for a pharmacist to change is telling. Why don’t they teach this in medical school? I just had an MD argue with me that they can’t call in controls by phone. We are in TX. It’s perfectly legal. Her nurse did it half an hour before the MD called in and she’s arguing with me about it like she’s never read the law in all her years of practice.
Furthermore, why don’t most MD’s and nursing staff re-read a prescription before they hit send or let the patient leave the office with a hard copy that doesn’t make sense? Proofreading goes a long way!
I genuinely want to know, is this not something they teach in medical school?! In pharmacy school, we take semester of law and sit for a state/federal law exam. You cannot practice as a pharmacist without knowing and complying with the law.
