what do pharmacist do anyway? Every time I go to the pharmacy, I see a lineup of people behind the counter doing something I’m sure they’re counting up pills, but did they do anything else?

Ex-pharmacist here. I dealt with a lot of drug interactions because that 7 years of university to get into and through pharmacy are thorough and that’s all we take for our profession. We took pharmacology (toxicology), physiology, and anatomy with medical students so we have a thorough understanding of what drugs do to the body, long term effects, teratogenicity, mutagenicity, and interactions.
I will also point out that we have to clarify prescriptions with patients on prescription use. Eat with food, do not mix with alcohol, or foods to avoid. My all time favourite – this was supposed to be inserted not eaten and that’s why your teeth are waxy.
