I've never encountered a pharmacist that questioned what my doctor
prescribed for me.  That would irritate me, too.  I'm the only person
who has the right to question what my doctor is prescribing for me and why.

I get that, Cindy.  But I am not afraid to question my doctor or to ask
questions.  Some people take everything they say as gospel.

 Do those people deserve to die from fatal drug interactions?
 

Whoa, where did I imply that?  That's a tad extreme.

Pharmacists are the suspenders in "belt and suspenders".
 

I don't take enough prescription medications that are likely to kill me due to drug interactions.  Been taking the same two Rx drugs for years, no problems.  I'm sorry if you and your husband take a lot of medication that you have to worry about what your doctor prescribes and need a pharmacist to intervene.  Or perhaps you could just ask your doctor(s). Or, as you are fond of saying, Google it.
