This link leads to one of the most preposterous ideas I've ever heard. Seriously, a prescription Vending Machine? This ties in nicely to our previous consideration of the idea of Cyborgs and the file, Ghost in the Shell. I could list a hundred reasons why this is a HORRIBLE idea. To name a few:
1. how are they supposed to mix antibiotics? You cant have them premixed in a vending machine, they'll expire, and they wont be at the right temperature
2. what if you need insulin or something that needs to be kept cold?
3. I doubt they can fit nebulizers in those little machines
4. They certainly cannot fit bowel cleansing powders in the
5. Such a system makes it super easy for people to go to multiple doctors to scam on controlled substances.

The central argument to this system is that people in rural areas don't have access to a 24 hour pharmacy. however, Id a medication is needed badly enough to render waiting for it not an option, the Hospital takes care of that. Duh. I feel as if the Doctor making this presentation feel he is intellectually superior to us lay people and his swagger definitely fills up the room. I know I don't like being taken for a fool. Do you?
