Still fuming hours later so I need to get this off my chest.
My 11 mo has eczema, has been prescribed cream for a time to be used throughout the day. The box has contrary instruction so the nursery have said they need to have word from the doctor to give it to her. It doesn't say the instructions in full on the printed sticker from the chemist for some reason. I think its fair enough as they aren't medical professionals at nursery.
The problem is the doctor. Firstly the receptionist refused to let me speak to the doc who prescribed the medication as they aren't my daughter's registered doctor. Then the registered doc calls me up and says he refuses to email or phone or write a note for the nursery as it is a waste of NHS time and money!
Thankfully I can still administer the cream at home and the effect over a day wont be detrimental. BUT this is prescribed medication that I'm being prevented from giving DD, firstly by procedures in nursery (that are fair enough) and then by doctor! Ridiculous.
