This.
IMO the US doesn't use pharmacists correctly. It's just recently that they can give flu shots - otherwise, nothing with syringes. I've lived in Colombia - almost no need to go to a doctor; just go to the local pharmacy, tell them what's wrong and they'll take care of you. Pharmacists should be the first line of defense, IMO.
And don't give me crap about prescription abuse. Countries that have little or no prescription regulation have nowhere near the abuse/recreational use of prescription drugs as in the US.
