Pharmacists are Health Care professionals and they're part of the chain of credibility. You absolutely want credible people dosing out medicine, double-checking, etc.. In no uncertain terms should unqualified people be answering questions about anything healthcare-related. Just the smallest questions I ask my pharmacist, I can tell she is super well trained: relatively clear when she can be, when she doesn't know she indicates this, for things out of her bounds she refers to the doctor. Very careful communication. For a little over $100K + all the training, I'd say it's a reasonable deal. That's about the professionalism you'd want before having someone chime in on your health. Maybe it could be reformed but I think pharmacists are valuable.
