I always hear about these community pharmacists that consult with patients about medical issues, but I'm yet to meet one myself.

I suspect pharmacists are the only people that some class of Americans can speak to about medical issues because they have an open storefront.

I don't know what pharmacists know about drugs, but they're useful people to speak to about insurance issues. They know the rules around age cutoffs for optional vaccines, which generics are in stock, when something will be denied by insurance, etc.
