Couldn't she have just "called in" the prescription to another pharmacy that would fulfill it, or does the first one "own" it in some way to make that impossible?
Prescriptions are usually sent to a pharmacist electronically. She probably never had possession of an actual script.
Please excuse my ignorance, I am not a US citizen, but the article states that after "calling in" the prescription she got a "call back" from the pharmacist. It's still confusing me.
Don't get me wrong. That pharmacist should be banned from working with the public ever again. (He could work in a lab somewhere - society needs skilled medical professionals)
