What happens between my doctor sending a prescription to the pharmacy and me picking it up?
Does the pharmacy just have every single potential prescription sitting in the back and they count and portion it out as the order is received? Do they “make” any of the medicine on site? Seems unlikely for the pills with designated colors and markings.
And if a significant portion of the job is counting pills why do pharmacists require so much schooling?

Pharmacies keep a lot of medications, but not all. If you’re prescribed something that they don’t have in stock they’ll have to order it, usually a quick process.
