RE:incentives to prescribe inappropriately are perverse

Urche,

I agree with you and can site examples of pressure that large chain pharmacy puts on it's pharmacists. All too often the pharmacist is either in agreement with managemnet or too ethically mushy to stand up for what is right for the patient. It is not a stretch to assume this same pressure for increased RX numbers will be pushed on the chain RNP at patient expense. This focus on numbers was one of the reasons I will never work for a chain again.

Gosh, I think I have too many soapboxes!
