PnF AU where Human!Perry is still a secret agent and Doof still acts like... Doof but instead of an "evil" scientist he's just some guy at a local pharmacy and Perry has to go there all the time cause of stuff due to missions (and you could sprinkle in him needing testosterone too if you're a fan of trans!Perry) and Heinz is eventually like "bro I see you in here all the time, wtf is going on, are u ok?" and they bond over time

Calgary Co-op has agreed to become the majority shareholder in Care Pharmacies, a network of independent retail pharmacies across Canada. Neither company released details about the agreement, like valuations or terms. Headquartered in Vaughan, Ont., and founded in 2013, the pharmacy chain has 56 locations in provinces like P.E.I., Nova Scotia, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, and the company says it’s the largest group of independent retail pharmacies controlled by licensed pharmacists in the country. There are 25 Care Pharmacies in Ontario and 15 in British Columbia. Alberta’s lone location is in Manning, Alta. Calgary Co-op’s CEO Ken Keelor said the acquisition, which still is subject to closing conditions and regulatory approvals, is a “tremendous fit” with the cooperative’s focus on growing its health and wellness business.

Me entering the lexapro withdrawal twilight zone: please... can I talk to a human being
The robo-operator that you get when you call the pharmacy: ooohooohooo only if you answer my riddles three! Press one to talk to the one that tells truth and 2 to talk to the one that tells lies. Press 3 to download our mobile app.

a pharmacist is not a doctor
I’ve complained about this before and I’m back to do it again. Strap in.
If insurance companies and pharmacists want to decide what medications you should and shouldn’t get, then they should have the same schooling, licensing, malpractice coverage and responsibility a doctor has.
Several times now I’ve gone to pick up a prescription that a DOCTOR has prescribed only for the PHARMACIST to tell me they didn’t think I needed it, so they didn’t fill it.
more growling below the cut
The meds were for various things including psych, dermatology, cardiology, and oncology (skin). The meds were prescribed by specialists, general practitioners, and nurse practitioners for my parents.
The insurance company denied access to enough medicine to treat a full-body skin condition that lasted 5 months, and we had to resort to home remedies for 2/3 of the treatment.
The pharmacists decided we didn’t need psych meds, skin creams, heart/blood pressure medicine, and anti-anxiety meds.
I have to go to three different pharmacies just to get meds filled when one or two pharmacists decide I don’t need something, which ends up looking like drug-seeking behavior, but looking at our history you’ll see absolutely no pain meds or addictive substances whatsoever. We’re well under max prescribing dosages/numbers as well. We’re just taking what doctors are prescribing.
And yet insurance companies and pharmacists make these decisions all the time while also taking none of the responsibility.
You can sue a pharmacist for medical malpractice, but there’s a limited number of reasons for doing so, and none of those reasons include refusing medication or practicing medicine.
I’ve spoken to my own doctor about this, and she said it’s becoming a huge issue. Pharmacists and pharmacy managers are overruling the decisions of medical personnel, and no one’s doing anything about it.

Thinking about the fact that the category 'over-the-counter' medicine exists.
Like, yeah, you can have it, you just have to answer these questions three.
And the answers are pretty basic, but it's still a very effective deterant (mostly for people who actually need the medicine) because you have to have A Conversation with a Pharmacist, and that's scary.
Basically, I'm pretty sure it keeps stuff out of the hands of children and is completely ineffective against (thrush-cream??) junkies, but mostly is means that people who need the meds have to stand in a queue and say so everyone can here: 'Yes, the Thread Worm tablets ARE for me and I promise not to give them to anyone else.'

Royal Pharmaceutical Society Museum
This museum is a real gem for anyone interested in the history of British medicine, and more specifically British pharmacies. Consisting of several glass cabinets in the Royal Pharmaceutical Society’s headquarters, the display looks deceptively small, but tells so many fascinating stories, the visitor can easily spend hours looking at the contents. The only real downside to the museum is that it requires flicking through booklets next to each case to properly understand each object!
Tumblr media
Each cabinet focusses on a different aspect of the Society or pharmacies –  the history of the society, pharmaceutical preparation, poisons as medicine, the development of antibiotics, medicines for mental health, medieval medicines, the beginnings of brand name medicines, and quackery.
Tumblr media
As a bit of a medical chemistry geek, I was fascinated by the samples of salvarsan (the first purpose-made antibiotic) and sulfadrugs. Those with an interest in poisons will appreciate the samples of arsenic, strychnine, cyanide and ricin. There are some bizarre examples of Victorian and early 20th Century healthcare products (tooth powder in a mummy-case, ‘Mandrake Embrocation’), though these have nothing on the jars of medieval medicine ingredients, which included human blood, mummified hands, dried frogs and unicorn fossils (actually narwhal tusks).

Spotlight: The Lucky Star
This advertising booklet for The Lucky Star 5 Cent Cigars is such a little gem! From the illustrations, to the poems about cigars, to the advertisements for local druggists Widule and Conrath’s, everything in it is just so much fun. The book is “respectfully dedicated to everyone who enjoys a first-class cigar,” and each of the short poems in the book extolls the virtues of Baxter’s Lucky Star Cigars. I personally enjoy the poetic grace that comes tumbling down in this Lucky Star Cigar poem:
The Oldest Inhabitant’s Opinion.
You may tear the man From his place in the moon; Or rip the stars From the azure sky; Pluck plumes from the buzzard, Or fur from the coon; But you can’t tear me From the truth I cry: That the LUCKY STAR Is the boss Cigar, And that is the brand You ought to buy.
It goes from poetic nature imagery to shilling cigars real fast. Another favorite is the poem featuring a smoking frog.  
It’s unclear whether this booklet was put out by Lucky Star or Widule and Conrath’s, or if it was a booklet made by Lucky Star for distribution at various druggists’ shops with binding to be supplied by each shop. I think the latter is the most likely of the possibilities. Christian Widule was born in Prussia and came to the United States in 1849 at the age of 4. He opened his pharmacy at 630 Chestnut St. in Milwaukee in 1868. Adam Conrath was born in Germany and also came to the United States at the age of 4 in 1852. He became a partner in Widule’s pharmacy business in 1875.

Many people are in drugstores to pick up prescriptions or to get tested for COVID--because they're sick, or living with someone who's sick.
Love thy (sick) neighbor--give them something to be thankful for.
