My fiancee is a recently graduated pharmacist. I was surprised by how much of her work is just counting pills and managing insurance.
But, as with many jobs, a robot can't handle the edge cases.
Doctors can be surprisingly ignorant about the medications that they prescribe and she's the last check to make sure they aren't going to poison a patient.
She also provides advice and clarification for patients receiving drugs that could kill them if they're misused.
The vast majority of pharmacist work will likely be automated, but it will be quite difficult.
