Based on context, it sounds like the pharmacist was power-tripping in a very personal way, and needs to be instructed about the difference between the pharmacist's role and the doctor's role.

And management needs to be whacked over the head for allowing such sanctimonious snots to bully people, apparently with their blessing.
