Two weeks ago I received a text message from my aunt asking me if I'll be interested in having my license rented by a doctor who owns a clinic somewhere in Cavite.
She told me that the doctor sells medicines in the clinic and to avoid being questioned by DOH surveyors during their inspections, he's offering Php 4,000 for the pharmacist's license. The pharmacist will just have to visit the clinic at least once a month and that's it!
I don't know if this scenario is rampant or just an isolated case, but the fact that it happened is something that pharmacists must not accept if the opportunity come their way.
We all know the reason why... some of us just pretend not to know. (You know!)
