Yes
Everyone has their own believes in the world not everyone is going to agree with the same thing. When you choose a
healthcare provider
you base it off their education, recommendations, and beliefs and values. These patients know what they are getting into before they go to this doctor
.
You research anything before you do it right? If you go somewhere and you don’t like what you see your not going to choose that place.Slide7
Pharmacists should fill every type of prescription even if it is against their believe. Especially in an area where there is only one pharmacists.
It is the persons choice whether they want to take the pill or not. Even if the pill leads them to death. Emergency pills are a back-up plan if a lady wants the day after pill she should be allowed to get it even if the pharmacists is against it.
