People naturally make mistakes and the pharmacist likely does not botch things up frequently, otherwise they wouldn't be employed. Slip-ups occur and no matter how much education they've had, it can still happen. You can look at other individuals who have further education with higher pays yet still mess up although infrequently, such as surgeons. There was a case where a surgeon screwed up a colostomy resulting in the male patient pooping out of his penis and peeing out of his pooper. It's rare and infrequent, just like the pharmacist's mistake, so yes they do know how to distribute drugs correctly, far better than you or I do but one mistake doesn't mean they're incapable to properly doing their job.
