Correlation =\ causation and exactly what objective conclusion can you draw from a ~5 minute encounter every month as a pharmacist seeing random customers who can go to any pharmacy to get their meds?

I get a new pharmacist every time I fill a script and I never share one iota of my diagnoses with them, they just fill the Rx and advise on contraindications and unusual doses they see.

Can you see into a person's brain with your own 'two eyes' as well? A neuroscientist can actually see our neural activity with fMRI and other tools to study brain science unlike your pharmacist buddies and yourself talking to random customers for 5 minutes in a grocery store.
