FFS Pomp....what a jokemate Visit your local drug den wiv wot you have left ! Might as well make a few bob they will buy anything shaped like a tablet mate!
That reminds me Greavsie , I have got to get a box full of pills back to the chemist .
Most of them still unopened , where they had been prescribed for my wife for the next two months , but weren’t suitable , or didn’t do what they were supposed to do , didn’t agree with her , the doctor changed them , the hospital changed them , were mis diagnosed , or , as in Pompeys case , pills that should only be taken for a couple of weeks before they cause damage but no one tells you ,
It is truly criminal the amount of blood pressure tablets she has been prescribed that cause side effects , like shortage of breath , water retention, skin reaction to the sun , indigestion , constipation , heart burn , then they give her other tablets to treat the side effects .
On a slightly different note , the latest thing in our surgery , if anyone ever bothers to answer the phone , is to ask “ what do you expect from this phone call today ? “
Or
“ what outcome are you expecting from todays interaction? “…… they don’t make it easy for themselves do they ? They love opening themselves up to ridicule !
The greatest though , is the sign on the receptionist’s desk , saying you cannot ask her a question face to face , you have to go home and phone in .
Then your “Care Coordinator will be able to give you a dedicated service .”
My wife actually had a face to face meeting with a doctor last week , …I know ! …. It was the doctor that phoned her to make the appointment after being given a bollocking from the Physiotherapist for prescribing the wrong pills , the pills that were causing the problems that she was seeing the physio for .
As the appointment finished , he said to her he would like to see her in a couple of weeks time , and for her to make an appointment., on her way out . …. Nope …that didn’t happen .
That fact that my wife actually expected a bit of common sense service from her dedicated care coordinator during her interaction that day , was dismissed by a finger pointing to the sign .
Go home and phone me ! Priceless .
