Transcontinental anaesthesia: a pilot study (2013)

I mean completely automated with no human except for the customer. Customer feeds in his prescription and gets back a container of drugs and a receipt and printouts of side effects to be aware of.

Regarding well paid: That's just union (licensing agency) controlling the supply of pharmacists. Look at the airline industry: United Airlines pilots who started in the 1970s with powerful unions still make $300k a year. Newly hired pilots today make $25k now that the unions lost their stranglehold.

Philip Greenspun makes a compelling argument that the new pilots making $25k and working the longest hours under the worst condition is a desired side-effect of union negotiations. The senior pilots, controlling the union and thus its negotiating policy, improve their outcome as much as possible. The junior employees are only nominally represented by the union, and their welfare is not a objective of the negotiations.
