The pharmacists I work with are bright, professional and an integral part of the health care team. Working in pediatrics with children with complex life-threatening diseases, the pharmacist helps us figure out how to use many drugs "off label"---often this helps improve a child's health/quality of life and even cure a dread disease. They know how to compound "adult" drugs into tiny concentrations so neonates can take them. They help sort out adverse reactions and drug interactions and offer alternatives when a traditional approach is not working

They are worth every penny they make and should proabably make more.

It is distressing to me to hear so many demeaning comments about pharmacists---someday one of them may help save your life or that of someone you love
