To think the doctors receptionist is being weird?

Dd1 has been prescribed a long course of antibiotics for an ongoing issue by a doctor at the hospital. They gave us one months supply and told us to get the rest from the gp as a repeat. It says on the bottle to give her 6.5ml once a day.

I got the repeat today and it says two 5ml spoonfuls twice a day, so I asked the receptionist and she said she would check with the gp and I should call back. So I did.

I got a different receptionist and explained the problem. She seemed to get flustered and told me nobody had told her about it and could I repeat the question. So I did, saying the new bottle says 10ml twice a day. She replied 'no it says two 5ml spoons twice a day, that makes 100ml'

I said '...ok, but it should be 6.5ml as that's what the hospital doctor prescribed'

'Oh I'll see if I can find the letter. Here it is...yes it looks like it should be 65ml a day'

'Do you mean 6.5ml?'

'No, it definitely says 65ml. That's quite a lot, can I call you back?'

So I left it that she would call back, which she hasn't.

Aibu to find this really weird?

I think you need to go in and speak to the GP and clarify.

What you've been told is so widely different it sounds a bit dangerous not to.
