Unique to their profession they are faced with an array of ethical challenges. A Pharmacist is like a gatekeeper to drugs which give and take life. It is known of some pharmacies to even put their customers health and their well-being above any profits the pharmacy could make. However, there are some that do not, and when this occurs, and profits are all that’s seen, the results can become tragic. The New York Times reported a story “Toxic Pharmacist” which outlined a case regarding Robert Courtney, the Kansas City, Missouri, pharmacist convicted in 2002 of con diluting and selling cancer drugs to his customers at Research Medical Pharmacy Tower. He admitted to diluting the drugs for thousands of patients over a nine year period. Courtney continued to defraud his customers even after amassing nearly 20 million dollars. He was sentenced to thirty years in prison, and forever “cosigned to freedom” in the history of pharmacology. When asked when he went to trial why he did it Courtney replied “I don’t know why I did this.” Physician Stephen Barrett believes pharmacists, most notably, national chain pharmacies, have put profits over patient’s health.
