It is not quite as sketchy as it sounds, but it’s still bad.

The medications in question are specially medications such as biologics that have unusual requirements like needing to be administered via infusion in a clinic by a nurse, or ultra expensive medications that are 10,000$+ per dose. Stuff you wouldn’t normally be able to stock at your corner pharmacy.

But still, patients should have the right to choose where they get their medication.
