เภสัชกรเป็นอาชีพที่มีเกียรติ เหมือนกับอาชีพหมอ ครู วิศกร สถาปนิก และอื่นๆ
Making a mistake while working as a pharmacist could make a patient very ill or even result in a death. Dispensing medicines is one of the relatively few careers in which you could actually kill somebody just by misreading simple instructions or failing to spot a rudimentary mistake. Pharmacists need to be knowledgeable about the drugs they dispense and pay great attention to detail to fulfill the important role they play in protecting and improving the public's health.
Dispensing Correct Medicines
Pharmacists check prescriptions from physicians before dispensing medication to patients. This vital role ensures members of the public don't receive the wrong drugs or take an incorrect dose of medicine. A pharmacist must check that a prescription written by a doctor is correct and make sure all drugs dispensed are labeled properly with a patient's personal details and instructions on how and when to use the drugs. Dispensing the wrong drugs or giving incorrect usage instructions can have serious consequences for patients, up to and including death.
