What do pharmacists do when they get ill?

Just wondering, because a pharmacist will probably know what's wrong with themselves and how to treat it. Do they just treat themselves, obviously if it was something really serious you would go to your doctor, but for something minor what do they do?

The pharmacists I work with treat themselves if it is possible...if not and need prescription drugs they pop into the doctors and practically tell them what they want/need! basically same as everyone else but with a bit more knowledge about what will work!

If it's something you can treat with OTC medicines then you should treat yourself, but you should not self-medicate with prescription drugs (although I'm sure a lot of people do...).
