Corruption and Incompetence at The Arizona Board of Pharmacy Phoenix Arizona

If you know anything about the Arizona Board of Pharmacy, you already know what kind of incompetent, IDIOTIC jerks they are, especially since their new director Pharmacist Kamlesh Gandhi, PharmD took over. Board members haven’t worked in a pharmacy in decades, yet they sit on their mighty thrones and pass outrageous fines for the smallest infractions.

• Have a bottle of OTC Tylenol that expired ONE WEEK ago? $1,000 fine!!

• Couple of days late on your CE? $4,000 fine!!

• Off by a couple of tablet on your inventory? $10,000 fine!!

• Forget to kiss the board’s azz on a daily basis? $20,000 fine!!

• Forget to put a “Kamlesh RED CAP” on a C2? $100,000 fine!! They use pharmacists and techs hard-earned $$$$$ money to fund their salaries, bonuses and party/holiday budgets. They certainly seem to be having a great time doing it too. They joke around at their hearings while imagining the toils that retail pharmacy staff suffer on a daily basis. They smile and laugh during their hearings as they pass off these huge fines. Its not enough that pharmacists and techs get abused by

1) drug addicts,

2)corporate offices,

3) store managers,

4) foreign-born, illeterate half-witted mid-level prescribers who know zero about pharmacology and

5) crooked insurance companies…… .…now we ALSO have to put up with The Arizona Board of Pharmacy a**holes on a power trip too. Hey A**shole bureaucrats: why dont you support :

• …not having our profession getting fu*ked by the PBM's with neg reimbursement rates?

• …Pharmacies with shitty working conditions??

• … Or filling a 3 MONTH “vacation” (ahem) supply for ACCHS / state welfare patients so they can “visit their home country” while us working folk pay for their state-funded “free” pharmacy benefits??? ACCHS patients get 3-month “vacations???” I only get two weeks, and I pay their welfare benefits!!

• …or mandating E-RX prescriptions event though it has been proven to have MORE medication errors than handwritten prescriptions and prescribers cant reliably be trusted to use it????

• working to prevent cancer-causing Chinese valsartan getting to the constituents who fund your bloated slalries? And for the cherry on the icing on the cake: For 2019 the board of pharmacy posted this little gem……

“ARE YOU READY FOR MANDATORY ELECTRONIC PRESCRIBING OF SCHEDULE II OPIOIDS??”

Oh goodie. Arizona Pharmacy Board Chitheads now MANDATE everyone to use its slow, error-filled E-RX system event though it has been shown to have MORE medication errors than handwritten prescriptions and prescribers cant reliably be trusted to use it. GET READY for EVEN MORE prescriptions like “take 0.01 tablets daily” or “give 3.45mL of amoxicillin tid”\ “apply 1g of psoriasis shampoo” Now in addition to EVERYTHING ELSE we have to put up with a slow, crappy e-system which takes FOREVER, and is full of flaws. Idiotic bureaucrats win again! Obviously its all unfair, but thank good ness for the 1st Amendment and RIPOFF REPORT.

This is within the acceptable policies of ripoff report according to terms and conditions. You guys RULE!!
