Pharmacist Protects Himself From Gang By Shooting Them.

A pair of intruders barged into the back entrance of Bryan Lee’s Pharmacy in Madera, California, spraying bullets as they went. Lee’s mother, Sophia, who works at the pharmacy, was hit in the leg. Lee returned fire, hitting one of the attackers, Aquilla Bailey in the face and torso and leg, according to news reports. Bailey is now dead, and the second attacker has been apprehended in Fresno.
The privately owned pharmacy opened as usual, the day after the shooting. This is the third robbery attempt which has been thwarted at Lee’s Pharmacy in the last 15 years.

Walgreens Fires Pharmacist for Stopping Robbery with his Legally Carried Firearm.

Pharmacist  Gets Fired for Using a Gun to Stop Robbery – Big Government.

Pharmacist Jeremy Hoven has a concealed carry license which he obtained subsequent to having his pharmacy robbed in 2007.  Workers at that pharmacy had asked Walgreens to step up security measures there, to no avail.

On May 8th, Hoven again was confronted by armed robbers at the Walgreens on Napier Avenue in Benton Township, Michigan.  The event was recorded on store cameras.

Police Lieutenant Delmar Lange supported Hoven’s actions, saying that Hoven had no alternative.    A store manager’s family  sent Hoven a thank-you card showing a pic of his four children.

Hoven had retreated as far as possible in the situation, and fired only after a robber jumped the counter and confronted him.

Walgreens policy allows customers in the store to have concealed carry weapons, but not employees.   Hoven stated that he had not been aware of this. Concerns about non-specific OSHA  regulations are possibly  to blame for the situation forbidding employees to carry firearms in this instance.   It’s OK only for customers and criminals.

Hoven’s lawyer is determining whether to pursue a wrongful termination lawsuit, which is likely to be a complex matter, but could  go further with the involvement of a government regulation.

More Pelvic Inflammatory Disease

Bill to Ease Access to Birth Control Introduced | NBC Washington.

Washington DC is pondering over the counter access for birth control pills, other than Plan B.

Pharmacists would dispense them without a prescription, circumventing the need by women to see a physician and have regular exams while on the pill.

This means that more STDs will go undiagnosed until they progress to the more life threatening  pelvic inflammatory disease, and/or cause sterility.

The safety and well being of female patients is not the issue.

EASY ACCESS is the priority.

Pharmacist charged after he allegedly forces girlfriend to miscarry | stargazette.com | Star-Gazette.

Pharmacist Orbin Eeli Tercero, on the run after “allegedly” forcing the abortion of his unborn child, has been apprehended in New York, and will face multiple charges in his home state of Pennsylvania.

In brief, Tercero was engaged to one woman, but had a second mistress on the side whom he made pregnant. He is charged with using misoprostil, a prescription-only, prostaglandin analog to produce a miscarriage of the mistress’s 13 week old unborn baby, without her consent.

This is one more example of circumstances under which abortion is not a woman’s choice, but she is made to have one anyway.

Perhaps this pharmacist will be back in practice in time for Obamacare. Given his attention to medical and personal ethics, he’d probably fit right in.
