Re: Sea Gypsy

My neighbour rang through to the Doctor. To make an appointment. Three weeks. 'What that's ridiculous,' she said.  Pause 'Two weeks. The irony is they keep advertising for more patients. So my neighbor who was a health visitor.  Had to go to Oxford, which is a pain to travel through after the first crowded ten miles, and pay to be assessed, as she thought it might be urgent..🌺

Wow, it sounds as though the UK is in a mess these days. Thinking of british Pharmacies or chemists, I have a funny story but won't write it yet.

Good Evening

I am glad you were able to get your medicine.  I had to smile when you called the pharmacist a chemist.  We call the pharmacy to talk to the pharmacist.  I hope you have a good night.

I can so relate! I go to the pharmacy where all my meds are when a bottle empties, and now and then I find out then that there are no more refills available without the doctor's magic spell. This week it happened again... and it turned out I had two left in the bottle after all and that saw me through. Glad you had the luck!

So glad you are saved by the neighbor. We often have to go in person because CVS (a pharmacy here) doesn’t answer and when they do, they say they don’t have whatever it is we need. We found a nice independent pharmacist who can usually get our meds in time. There have been tines here just like you say. Scary!

So glad you found a working solution. Just be careful. My medicine is automatically renewed. I get a text when it needs to be renewed. Be careful.

So glad you worked out a solution. This stuff can be scary.

Oh my, how scary. I have automatic refill. I do know how frightening it can be. I take a med to thin my blood because of my A-flutter. I would go crazy if I didnt have meds for a week. A-flutter increases chance of a stroke. I know it's not a good idea to take someone's medicine but high blood pressure is dangerous as well.
