Large parts of PillPack were being mismanaged into the ground, I trust Amazon can fix them but at the same time my first reaction to the news was to text my non-programmer-or-management friends there about when they’re quitting.
If Amazon’s warehouses or Whole Foods are any indication of how they’ll approach the unavoidable human work involved at a pharmacy, I have serious doubts about the quality of service. And pill pack is already in a pretty sorry state.
You know a pharmacy does more to fill a prescription than just count out pills on a slip of paper, right?
How many pharmacists and pharm techs can be automated away by amazon that pillpack hasn’t already? And this is just a rhetorical question, neither of us are really qualified to address all the tasks to be done, nor current automation levels.
