This drug store has a long history; it is started since 1922. Due to my lack understanding of America’s pharmacy system, he introduced that the basic structure of American pharmacy is divided into community pharmacy and hospital pharmacy, in community pharmacy, two kinds of pharmacy exist, retailed pharmacy and independent pharmacy. St Paul Corner Drug is one of the independent pharmacy, their goal is to build good relationship with patients in the community, talk and listen to patients about their concerns and worries, give them the suggestions. These are very different compared to retailed pharmacy, whose goal is to make profits for companies. I love the independent pharmacy setting.

The question now is, how can an uneducated individual be given so much responsibility? Technicians are granted these responsibilities because a pharmacist can not do the job alone.
