I think any business should have the right to decide what it will and will not do. However, the government usually interferes with that. Think of the cases where (usually elderly) rental property owners have been forced to rent to unmarried couples.
On the other hand, any pharmacist who wouldn't return my prescription would be explaining to a judge why he chose to interfere with my health care. If I didn't call the police and charge him with stealing it first. If he doesn't honor the prescription, he's not entitled to retain the written form.
StanT is correct. We are subjected to such a barrage of new drugs that health care practitioners can't keep track of their own fields and the new drugs as well. They also don't have access to records of prescriptions from other physicians, while pharmacists generally do.
