- jac241 5y agoWhat do you have to do before you prescribe a drug? Make a diagnosis, which is what is taught in medical school and not in pharmacy school. Pharmacists are frequently embedded in care teams in hospitals and primary care clinics where they make medication recommendations and know how to get drugs approved by insurance companies (sad that this has to happen...).
- Smithalicious 5y agoIt's totally possible to have one party diagnose and another prescribe.
- someguydave 5y agoyou are correct, doctors should stay in their lane and diagnose and leave treatments to others
