It Doesn't Inspire Confidence!

Yes, it's a slight worry when you think about it.

I have just had a phone call from the Pharmacy where I get my repeat prescriptions ... yes, great they are checking all is OK!  True

However, they want to know how I am getting on with my new medication ... so I asked what new medication (and wondering if I hadn't actually read the labels on the latest collection) ... so the pharmasist said "Your inhaler".  I didn't answer as I was wondering whether I had my prescription changed ... so in the gap she said "The Salbutamol".

So I answered, yes I was getting on OK with the treatment - and had for the last 30 years as that was when it was first prescribed to me!!!

She just went on to say that it was noted as new ... so don't know who is going mad - but in this case I can honestly say, it isn't me.

So 30 years on I get the phone call ... maybe a bit too late, really!!

Hmmm - yes. I get a call from my pharmacy a couple of times a year asking if I have forgotten to pick up my meds as they have been sitting on the shelf for a couple of weeks. And each time I point out that I have an 8 week prescription and won't need them for another 2 weeks - if they reordered after 4 weeks it is their mistake...

I do wonder sometimes - at the RDE we have had a new computer systemn ... designed to make life easier Ha Ha!

I would find that a little disturbing! (But my pharmacy never calls, though they do send text reminders if I've refilled my prescription but haven't picked it up after a couple days.)

Due to lockdown, we are only expected to visit our pharmacy if we need to collect a prescription unless we have had a text message ... I don't know what you would do if you don't have a mobile phone
