... and now another one just opened up the other day. we've got at least half a dozen of them here, maybe more. that's a lot of medicine being dispensed in such a small town ...
... why might this be? what could be the reasons for so many drug stores?
... anyone got any theories?

Drug prices are so exorbitant that there's still good profit in opening up extra chemists in a small town?Quote from: "Dinky Dianna"
... yep, that's a damn fine theory, Dinky Diana. but why is everybody on drugs?

... all of these pharmacies have instant access to our private medical info. that i don't agree with. it should be confidential and not available to any moneygrubbing sleazebag pharmacy owner who wants to check you out ...Quote from: "the shark hunter"
So what if they know. They fill prescriptions your doctor writes. Unless you think your local doctors are in cahoots with Shoppers franchisees.

What other information are pharmacists getting? They get a prescription, so they likely can figure out your illness. What has the crown government got to do with this?
I am not busting your chops sharkman. I don't know what information travels from your doctor to Shoppers.

Yes, I live in Saskatchewan. You mentioned the crown. I thought you were saying they had access to private medical information.

... in british columbia the medical system is administered by the crown. hospitals are overseen by the ministry of health. all doctors are basically government employees as their services are paid for by the government too ..

Government services always fall by the wayside therefore government doctors don't manage health, they manage people and health is secondary. Australia and the UK are testament to what happens when you allow the government to dictate both health policy and taxation.Quote from: "Dinky Dianna"

... yes i agree, Dinky. the ministry of "HEALTH" doesn't sound truthful to me at all. the ministry of "hospitals and medical infrastructure" would be more accurate. "health" is just another liberal government lie ...

They all lie and they seldom revoke the previous lie, they build it up further. Conservative or Liberal. Makes no difference. We're all ultimately farm animals on this earth but most can't fathom where the fences lay. The moment more people realize this, the less we'll have to endure the rants of spiritually, patriotically, or chemically altered peoples talking specific pie in the sky shit about a very general age long issue of those in power and those of us almost entirely under them and ripe for harvest AS they see it.
Our existence is one big lie.

This is from 2 years ago, but you can see by reading it that they make more money than banks. I assume you have some idea how profitable the banking industry can be.

Why are pharmacies opening up in your town? Because the pharmaceutcial industry is extremely profitable, that's why.Quote from: "shin"
... makes perfect sense, Shin. but why is their such a large demand for drugs these days? there are two pharmacies in the small shopping mall here alone. in fact, there are more pharmacies here than gas stations and grocery stores!

Drugs that can be prescribed to treat many ailments but don't actually cure them are a mechanism of recurring profit.
