It's causing a big issue of exhausting the resources (ERs are always full), the doctors and the nurses are constantly overworked and resigning, and the ones who have remained need to deal with massive amount of extra workload... so a vicious cycle begins! Plus, patients can be very irrationally demanding, and there is a steep rise in medical litigation (in my home country). This alone is enough to drive people away from working in the field. It is said that the health care system in my country had already 'collapsed'. And the public still don't realise what is really going on...... When do people start understanding that it's actually them who have to pay the price of all this after all?? The country where I’m from has got ‘exactly’ the same problem!

And I bet in half of them, the pharmacist wouldn't even have had to become involved! All of those presentations could have been dealt with at your local pharmacy!
