I would be interested to know what percentage of prescriptions are for things which can't be diagnosed by a pharmacist (or are just requests for a refill of an existing medication). I think this is the point of the nurse practitioners that CVS (or was it walgreens/etc?) had in some of their stores a few years ago. When my kids were in day care and got frequent ear infections, I could tell by their behavior it was time to check their ears and.. well i'm not a doctor but I can probably tell if you have an ear infection with my cheazy/plastic over the counter otoscope I impulse purchased from said drug store. Going to the doctor to get the same prescription I had filled two months previously is just silly. Same thing with my poison ivy...
