Second Question of Day November 1, 2013 Texas Board of Pharmacy is Considering an Amendment to the Pharmacist to Technician Ratio? Is this amendment a good idea? Bad idea?

Amendments Concerning Pharmacist to Technician Ratio
§291.32 Concerning Class A Pharmacies
§291.53 Concerning Class B Pharmacies
§291.153 Concerning Class G Pharmacies

I am trying to figure out an analogy.  In legal world we have paralegals and "legal assistants."  We aren't required to have either but couldn't do job without them.  However, no ratio requirements because the bottom line is as an attorney I am responsible. It is my signature and name on line (although some courts will allow paralegals to sign appellate briefs etc. and this is not without controversy).  So I am going to have enough common sense to know I don't want to supervise and be responsible for more than I can handle which is going to be a very small number.  You might say but this doesn't depend on life or death or health and safety...in some cases you would be wrong....death penalty cases involve whether a person lives or dies...but still probably not the right analogy...Dr. Woliner I am counting on you to point me in the right direction of an apology......
