5. How is a pharmacist contradicting a doctor on a matter of medicine not 'practicing medicine'?

Is the pharmacist also an MD? I'm not aware of any requirement for them to be such, and I would have thought it would be rare, since they could presumably make more money as an MD than as a pharmacist.

Seems to me like the pharmacist who decides 'Well, I don't feel like there is a reason why you would need it, so we refused to fill it.' needs to be brought up before his licensing board on charges that he is working beyond the scope of his practice and lose his license for pretending to be a doctor.
