If I were allowed to I would designate negative stars for this petson. Richard Kalkman is finished as a pharmacist. He places his sensitive “good catholic male” feelings above the healthcare needs of a woman seeking to fill a legal prescription from a proper medical professional to prevent life threatening sepsis.

On his LinkedIn page he claims, "I am honest, caring and have my patients’ ... best interest in mind always," yet, in July 2018, he refused to fill a prescription for Rachel Peterson, a woman whose baby had died in her womb. He said that as a good Catholic male, he could not in good conscience fill the prescription. So if you're a "good Catholic," you'll probably be fine, but if you're anybody else, who knows.

He refused to fill a prescription because his customer was a women. He refused to follow company policy to transfer her prescription to another pharmacist. He is toxic to both customers and employers.

Refuses to fill prescription if he "thinks" you're lying about why it was prescribed. Needs to stick to his job of counting pills, he's not a health care provider.

Richard Kalkman is a power-tripping Pharamcist who thinks patients' rights don't apply to him. No sense of privacy; has talked over the phone to someone other than the patient about their personal health. Refusal to fill prescriptions due to his own opinions and feelings. Unfit to be a pharmacist as he cares more about his own feelings than providing safe healthcare to his patients.
