Yes, it's important to check you prescriptions, but how would that have helped Mr. Yamashiro? The label was correct. The pills inside the bottle were wrong. This is scary. What Mr. Zapeda said of his experience should be taken seriously. It may be time for thorough investigation into the business practices of pharmacies, how they train and treat their employees, and the safety checks and cross-checks they either have, or don't have in place.  Based on the comments here, some more digging into Long's/CVS' lack of best practices seems warranted. For everyone's sake, let's hope that's what comes of this incident.
