Behind every good doctor there is a dispenser or pharmacist saving their butt!:D

Have to agree there Linds, the Chemist an dispensers do a good job on peoples medications, I often talk to my chemist about interaction if I am given a new type of drug, (Usually antibiotics) some of my normal drugs affect antibiotics and if a careful watch isn't maintained serious harm can occur
