Zusammenfassung:Based upon news reports, the pharmacist apparently denied filling the prescription and continually asked the patient why she needed the therapy, in front of other customers. [...]pharmacists must make a good faith effort to refer or transfer the prescription to another pharmacist to meet the clinical needs of the patient in a timely manner, as required by the Arizona law. By not doing so, pharmacists may end up getting fired (as was the case with the pharmacist who refused to fill the hormone prescription), and they may be investigated by the State Board of Pharmacy.
