The current system allows pharmacists to in fact practice medicine without license. They can take the role of doctors. They also replace prescribed drugs with others without doctors' permission. They can conduct unauthorized medical treatment that now became legal according to the newly amended pharmaceutical law. If pharmacists wants to practice medicine,they should have gone to medical school.
Korean doctors write the medical records on what medications are prescribed.
Almost all the doctors in the world will do this. They probably sell OTC drugs on their decisions or by a patient's request or sell the drug according to a doctor's prescription. What do you do if you were grave after taking some drugs that a pharmacist gave you contrary to a doctor's prescription and the doctor do not know this. Even though it requires a doctor's prescription,the pharmacists have sold the drug. We have claimed that the pharmacists should sell the drug according to the doctor's prescription and ask for the doctor's decision if the medication were to be modified from the original order and they should make a record of these things.
