@faithwalker007 The last pharmacist I had was a wonderful man from South Africa. I strongly suspect he had a different education, perhaps even a physician's degree, as his wealth of knowledge was astounding. He caught several things that my drs didn't. He guided me a lot in the early days of my rare kidney disease. On the other hand, my PCP freely used his apps to look up medications and interactions when we discussed things, to make sure he was accurate. I appreciated that he had not tried to "wing it" or "assume"; there is no way one human can keep all that information readily at hand in their mind!

Pharmacists rarely assume or wing it. They pull from education, knowledge, and usually experience. PCPs and even specialists refer to resources readily and statistics to diagnose and treat.
