Here in So.Cal we are having a strike of the major grocery chains (something to the effect that the workers get their health insurance free and management wants them to pay a portion of it- what a novel idea!) Anyway I really don't care about the food, but I have been getting my meds from the same pharmacy inside the grocery store for 10 years and the pharmacy is closed with the pharmacist on strike. I have known 2 of these pharmacists for 10 years, they have always tried to help me and have basically been wonderful. But having a script called in 10 days ago by my shrink, and spending the last week trying 3 different pharmacies to get it filled and calling my shrink on a Sunday because I was out has led me to wonder if it is ethical for a pharmacist to go on strike? I know drs. and nurses are held to certain standards and as a health care provider I think pharmacists should be also. I saw my pharmacist walking with a picket sign and blew up. I feel like he stabbed me in the back. Am I being unreasonable? thanks, judy
