It must truly be difficult when people come in and don't have enough money for medication they need to survive.

That's a side-effect that many haven't thought about: the stress on the pharmacist when they see people have to go without their medication.

I have a friend who is a pharmacist and she had to quit because of the stress of having to fill so many prescriptions in the allotted time.

Now pharmacists have to deal with stress from a different source.

Regarding stress and the job, I knew someone who worked in human resources for AT&T back in the days of massive layoffs. She had to quit, too, as seeing the daily human misery of people losing their jobs was just too much.

Zanana1, I think you should contact your representative and senators, too, to let them know what is really going on in the real world.
