I'm sure it's probably all the damned paperwork involving the legalities and payment issues that takes all the time. Besides, the only people who can afford prescription drugs are those who have some sort of insurance or are subsidised somehow...and you know they love to punish you with paper work. Throw in all the excessive paper work that the government requires, they probably do more paper work than filling of drugs.
Markie, I like that cartoon. It's so damned accurate!!!
