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?

They verify that the medication you are receiving is indeed the correct one, pill by pill usually, verify that medications you take are safe to be taken together, sometimes change medications to an equivalent one in case the prescribed one isn’t available. They also verify that the dosage is appropriate for you and so much more. They need to know most info about medications by memory, our pharmacists knew if a patient could take a medication based off lab results, illnesses, for how long, etc.
