E-DRUG: E-Drug: Trust & Ethical Laws (cont)
-------------------------------------------
Dear e-druggers,
After having read Mariam Cassimjee's letter regarding changes in ethical
rules to come, the following thoughts came to mind:
We are grappling with issues such as dispensing on the internet and postal
delivery of medicines, and the implications thereof on one-on-one patient
counselling, but what I fail to understand is that home delivery of
prescription medicines by a non-pharmacist delivery person on a scooter to
a client at home or at work, has never been an issue! Shouldn't it form
part of this debate?
Without throwing stones to any particular group of pharmacists, isn't it
exactly those who have traditionally fiercely opposed postal drug
deliveries, who are still performing daily scooter deliveries - are they
always able to supply face to face councelling?
