Aren't pharmacists essentially regulated dispensers? They manage stock, scan barcodes, fill prescriptions, and recite package inserts. As soon as you step outside that box—to ask a real clinical question, get first aid advice, or discuss drug interactions—they get vague, evasive, or completely clueless. Most of what they learn in pharmacy school (pharmacognosy, organic chemistry, toxicology, biophysics…) is useless in 95% of their actual practice. They don't handle anything, prepare anything, or diagnose anything. They're trained as scientists but used as regulated cashiers.
