title: Pharmacists' liability: what my pharmacy law professor did not cover.
abstract: This article summarizes a practicing pharmacist's take on the liability of pharmacists in current pharmacy practice. The author, who feels that compounding pharmacists should be held to the same standards as other healthcare providers in civil litigations, provides a look at what he considers "entrapment" by way of legal double standards between independent pharmacy and big pharma.
