WHY AREN’T THERE MORE PHYSICIANS DISPENSING?
Virtually all physicians are dispensing. The easiest example is samples that are dispensed for free. Historically physicians dispensed. Pharmacy, symbolized by the mortar and pestle, was the manufacturer. Because of the proliferation of drugs and the lack of computerized control, pharmacy became a distribution system in the 20th century. That distribution is no longer required and is neither as efficient nor as accurate as physician dispensing.
