No. If they are your doctor, that would fall under physician-patient privilege and they would be required to keep that confidential.

What does people benefit in buying medication via the internet?

Answer 1: For greater convenience.Answer 2: Yes, it could be more convenient, but it could also be more dangerous; and it might be illegal.For those in the US, medications should only be purchased online from legitimate US pharmacies that are properly licensed, and their pharmacists properly registered in the state in which the pharmacy is physically located.Many Americans think they can get better deals from Canadian pharmacies; and while that can sometimes be true, it can also be illegal; and, worse, it can be dangerous because ever since the first Americans figured-out that they could get inexpensive medications from legitimate Canadian pharmacies, many fly-by-night companies have since gotten into the "Canadian Pharmacy" business. Many of them, in fact, are not even physically located in Canada. They are, instead, in India and several other countries.And many of of those kinds of places purchase the medications as either low-quality generics, or, worse, as counterfeit brands; and, in either of those cases, the medication is as likely as not to be fake, and not even contain any real medicine; or will contain nowhere near the amount of medicine claimed on the label.The bottom line, then, is that buying medications online can be very risky unless one is absolutely certain that the pharmacy from which one is buying is a real and legitimate business whose pharmacists are legal and registered. And, even then, the US may have laws against purchasing medications from foreign pharmacies... so the buyer should definitely check all applicable laws, first.


What is a pyxis machine?

the pyxis is a medication dispensing machine used in hospitals. The pharmacy, usually within the hospital, will fill and maintain the medications in the machine and when a nurse or other qualified member needs a certain medication, they can log into the computer connected with the block of small drawers and get the med they need. When the nurse needs, say Lidocain, they log in and the computer causes the drawer that has Lidocain in it to open, she takes what she needs and closes the drawer. Usually once a day the pharmacy will check the computer against what is actually in the drawer and refill as needed. discrepancies are common.
