It is said that Wednesday is the best day of the week to get a Rx filled. However, at the drugstore where my husband worked, Wed. was the worst day due to contracts to Personal Care Homes. Often times, the people he delivered to were not capable themself of reporting errors to any Board. Cases like my parents - dad w/PD & mom who had stroke & other health problems - are the ones that "support" the errors. They have "faith" in the pharmacist as they have known him for years. Due to my own personal reasons, I've switched stores - but continue to check any Rx before putting it in my mouth.
