Dirty Greek - Allowing Pharmacists To Let Conscience Dictate Prescriptions?

You must ultimately find the place where you can be most effective, and this will inevitably be in doing what you're best at. In other words, no one is 'good at' saving the world; one is good at music or painting or writing or politics or science--and any of these can put one in a position to make a contribution toward saving the world.

No, seriously. Well then, as a Christian Scientist, I don't believe in the use of medicine. I prefer not to use doctors, medicine, or immunizations. I am used to helping people through the false reality of illness. Proper prayer and training are employed to battle the "non-reality" of illness.

Therefore, I can become a pharmacist and subsequently deny all medicine to whoever comes in, because I'm "using my conscience."
