Should vending machines replace pharmacists?
The idea is being pushed by the AMA but the Pharmacy Guild of Australia is very angry

The AMA is pitching the idea of expanding the number of automated dispensing machines, which are common in the US and the UK, as a way of making it easier for patients to obtain their medications.
