Gah!!!
So today i was breathing a sigh if relief of having successfully got to the end one of those stupid busy weeks with stupid complex arrangements and multiple specialist hospital appointments a distance away. Then realised im out of one DS'S medicines. Had completely missed we were down to the last 2 doses. So admittedly this is my fault in the first place but its about the least bad thing that could have gone wrong this week.
Cue very Apologetic to phone call to NHS. They sent the prescription to a pharmacy that not only is quite a distance from us but has none of the medication in and is closed today!!!
2nd phone call to NHS 111. NHS direct only deal with the pharmacy in the next town to us. I live in a sizable town with a couple of big pharmacies open Sunday and a aging population. They have the prescription but can only send it to the closed pharmacy half hours drive away.
They can refer to seadoc. so now Waiting for the phone call anywhen in the next 2 hours.
So now onto at least 3 phone calls and a out of hours dr to deal with something stupidly simple be cause nhs direct can only send a prescription to one specific pharmacy not even in the same town as i live.
Sometimes I really cringe at the waste within the NHS
