Boy has she got it all wrong. Phar tech do fill some prescriptions but not all like operolds that is a pharmacist job. It is the pharmacist who makes the final.check before the medicine goes out not a phar tech. And some times it takes more than two hours for a medicine to be filled. If videos like this are going to be made do your research.
