Why?
pharmacist := someone who runs a shop selling diapers and ritalin to little boys

b/c they don't conduct examinations and order tests?
it's just a division of labor, who fucking cares?

how can you prescribe if you dont have a medical understanding of a persons condition or atleast a certain training for it?
You'd expect psychologists to be able to describe wouldn't you though. I guess it is just a division of labour. They don't have medical training either though.
That would be a pretty big conflict of interest

Pharmacists know everything about the drug but nothing about the patient
>inb4 the patient can tell the pharmacist the symptoms
Great idea. Hey doc, I just feel like a lot of pain so please give me Heroin... no I mean the legal brand of Heroin. TY <3

Because they can directly profit from it?
