Neither pharmacist/chemist should admit patient based on ethical gounds nor is he entitled to admit . Ideally pharmacists should refer such patients to consult doctor but they don't do so bcoz it is egodystonic for them and second thing is that by just having auperficial knowledge of few OTC drugs they consider themselves as doctors ignoring the fact tbat little knowledge is a dangerous thing . Problem with pharmacists is that they actualy do not kmow how deep the medical science is and by just being able to provide symptomatic treatment to some common illness, they think that they know everything and they are at par with doctors which is actually their delusion.

I support your opinion, chemists and pharmacists should stick to their lanes. But again, it is true that some are very knowledgeable and can help explain issues to patients.
Thank you but the question is not about explaining the issue but is about admitting the patient's and treating them which they cannot.
Thank you so much @drqbm for always speaking and coming through for us.
