Is this really the norm now? So my story is dd came back from uni with horrible rash from neck to knees. I said she needed doc. Couldn't get appt so went to pharmacy . The pharmacist didn't know what it was and said see a doc asap. Finally got telephone appt on Tues. doc said it's viral. Said she would write a script for so steroid cream which should help. I couldn't get to the pharmacy on wed and dd managed with calamine and moisturizer. Pharmacy closes at 6. I should have picked one that stayed open late I wasn't thinking. So went at lunch today. Answer was it takes 5 days to prepare the prescription . They only got it from the doc this morn. So that would be next wed she told me to come back . I made a bit of a fuss and said the rash was all over her body and she needed it. Eventually she went and looked and told me it was out of stock anyway. Ended up she gave me the prescription and I have to drive round and find somewhere that has it. She said no boots will have it. Is that the norm now. That scripts take 2 days to travel from doc surgery to chemist then they take 5 days to prepare it. Seems terrible to me. I'm used to walking out the doc straight into the pharmacy and getting the medication but I'm from Dublin. Seems very different here?
