Yes they do. You know nothing of legal matters if you believe that. Many a doctor has been successfully sued for following the rules in which someone died. In the end it's about who is going to look more sympathetic to a jury. The family of dead young girl or a simple minded doctor who let a girl die in front of him because she wasn't following the bureaucratic rules of his Country?
He is not a doctor. He's a pharmacist in a drug store.
And this is Ireland, not the US.

Um, no. A pharmacist has no duty to dole our medication to people without prescriptions (an ER doctor sure, but not a pharmacist). He has the ability to in an emergency, but no legal duty. And it would never reach a jury. If there's no legal duty to act, then a negligence suit would be thrown out by the judge.
If I'm the pharmacist, I set the epipen on the counter and then say, "oh, I have to go make a phone call"......let the mom just take it without "authorization".
so then you are suggesting that all laws are rubbish and no one has to follow them at all? regardless of consequences? or are you suggesting that there be no consequences?
The pharmacist was a damn idiot. There are times to say legality be damned and do the right thing.
Yeah, and what if she died from what the pharmacist would have dispensed to them illegally? Lawsuit?
Damned if he do, damned if he don't.
Sure, it might be OK in a world without overzealous lawyers willing to take on any case in the name of greed - in this case tort - but we are doomed to a world where liberals must exact a pound of flesh for whatever they perceive as a wrong. And if they can't sue, you are a RACIST.
