Definition of a Pharmacist
Wikipedia encyclopedia tells us "Pharmacists are health professionals who practice the art and science of pharmacy." "In their traditional role, pharmacists typically take a request for medicines from a prescribing health care provider in the form of a medical prescription and dispense the medication to the patient and counsel them on the proper use and adverse effects of that medication."
