- djrogers 8y agoGP is likely referring to the requirement for humans to count and verify the packs of pills. FDA rules don't allow all of that to be automated away.
- finnthehuman 8y agoYou know a pharmacy does more to fill a prescription than just count out pills on a slip of paper, right? How many pharmacists and pharm techs can be automated away by amazon that pillpack hasn’t already? And this is just a rhetorical question, neither of us are really qualified to address all the tasks to be done, nor current automation levels.
