I don't really think a person's salary dictates how much they can break the rules of their job description... from an emotional point of view, I can't believe a pharmacist wouldn't hand over an epipen to help a dying person; but as it's an exact science how much medication is needed in any given epipen for any individual, the pharmacist wouldn't necessarily have had the dosage needed just waiting by the counter in some kind of "here's one I made earlier" situation. Any time I go to the pharmacy for some medication, I have to wait half an hour to get my medication - I don't know why that is but I don't think it's because they like to make people wait. Maybe the pharmacist didn't have what they needed. Maybe the mother wasn't making sense. Maybe the girl died before the pharmacist could have realistically provided anything for her. I don't know.
