A month ago my kids had pink eye. One resolved within days, the other got worse. Instead of a doctor’s appointment the next day, we went to the pharmacy where the pharmacist evaluated him and prescribed an antibiotic. Whole thing took 15 minutes. Really made sense for “a parent could diagnose this” kinds of minor ailments.
Also: if it’s the pharmacist determining a med and immediately administering it, is she really “pre-scribing” anything?
The eye is immune privileged and infections can develop into permanent damage within days. It is really not the kind of thing to be diagnosed and monitored at home.
