I recently wrote to the DOH concerning Rx rip offs.

e.g. Thousands of loaves on FP10
Viagra on FP10, Why diabetics get free antibiotics etc.etc.etc.

I said that when Viagra etc. is allowed on Rx you let people get their foot in the door to bully Drs into giving them whatever they want all I got back was, "It's up to the prescribers to police it!"

I agree wholeheartedly with the minor fee for everybody. How many times have you had carrier bags for of unused meds back?

I had an old biddy bring back 24 boxes of test strips the other day for us to reuse, when I told her we had to dispose of them she said that that was criminal.

I said well it shouldn't have been ordered int he first place and she stopped complaining about stupidity!
