Review Case 1
A patient, Ms. Reynolds, enters a pharmacy, having just come
from her physician’s office.
Ms. Reynolds: My doctor just gave me a prescription for
methotrexate and did not tell me anything about it! What’s it
used for?
Pharmacist: I am busy right now to go into detail, but it is used
to treat various conditions, including cancer and rheumatoid
arthritis.
Ms. Reynolds: What?!! Oh my goodness!! I can’t believe this.
My doctor must think I have cancer and is waiting to tell me.

Review Case 2
You are a pharmacist in a pharmacy located in a medical
building. Cynthia Jackson, a 22-year-old college student, enters
your pharmacy. Cynthia has no prescription insurance and is on
a limited budget. She has been dealing with chronic sinusitis
and finally realized that she needed to see an ear, nose, and
throat specialist. Cynthia visited Dr. Sampson, who practices in
your building. You know Dr. Sampson to be a good physician,
but one who lacks interpersonal skills at times. He prescribed an
expensive antibiotic that would cost Cynthia $75. After you tell
her the price, Cynthia states, “Dr. Sampson didn’t help me very
much. He spends 5 minutes with me and then prescribes this
expensive antibiotic and nothing else! And how do you get off
charging me so much for just an antibiotic?”
