hell yes, love you too and I long for the day when this evil system is just a terrible memory

in the US, you can approach a pharmacist and ask for OTC medical advice. whether you get a decent answer depends on a lot of factors... if you're wanting to ask a corporate retail pharmacist it depends on how overworked and shortstaffed they are. if you have an independent community pharmacy nearby your odds are a lot better.

some pharmacists are offering oral contraception now, and I think anything increasing access to that is a good thing in principle. don't @ me about "access" to health care, btw, I understand it's not the end goal.

whether this will be a trend among other drug classes, idk. until we have a functioning healthcare system and people can get what they need when they need it, I think it's at least better than the status quo.

all in a day's work as another part of the safety net. providers are human too, like nurses and everyone else. glad your loved one was OK.

this system is so uniquely cruel. I'm glad things eventually worked out.

former corporate retail pharmacist here. that posting was likely for a technician role. at least I hope so. corporate retail pharmacy is a fucking dumpster fire right now but I don't think it's reached quite that level yet.

replied to the wrong comment! this was meant for the one above.
