As a patient, and now as a mother, I want to be confident that the person filling prescriptions is alert, attentive, and capable of catching mistakes, whether made by the pharmacy or the prescribing health care provider.  I support common sense limits on working hours and standards for taking breaks during long shifts such as those adopted by our neighbors, MD and WV.  For the health and safety of all Virginians who use their services, please take this opportunity to review and revise your regulations governing working hours for pharmicists.
