YES! I never even thought about including pharmacists on that!
He's the same pharmacist that insisted (on roughly 5 separate occasions) that me and Lisa could not take... oh can't remember, some kind of painkiller, because "You're diabetic.". Now I think I'd have remembered that, don't you? I said "Ah, you've seen metformin on my list of drugs, but I'm not diabetic, it's to help with my PCOS". To which PPP replied "Nope, diabetic. If you take metformin you're diabetic". I just stood there open-mouthed. Luckily the 16 year old assistant piped up and said "Actually Paul, we have lots of women with PCOS using metformin." Can you believe he actually stomped off?
Women, daring to know their own bodies and have drug knowledge? Bleeeurgh. Aren't there kitchens for them to be in?
