You sound as if you need a long gin and tonic, and deserve it! When I first qualified, I used to volunteer to do bank holidays, and the odd rota hour for places that opened on a Sunday, for extra cash.

The day after Boxing day I arrived at a pharmacy, which usually does 1 or 2 items during the hour on their rota day. I found about 50 people waiting outside!

Anyway I managed to get a dispenser from a shop who's locum hadn't turned up for the day. As we went through the scripts the most awful forged script I have ever seen came in. So during all these items, and with 50 people in a small shop I had to ring the GP etc. The guy went away in the end. I had to report it to the police, so that meant a statement, mug shot books, a line up etc. One of the staff spotted him in the mug shots, and the idiot had put his own name and address on the back! We all picked him in the line up. He was also the one glaring at me!

That led to going to court, and me being cross examined for 30 minutes. The defence were trying to say I picked the wrong guy from the line up. I kept to my guns and pointed out that the odds of me picking a guy from a line up, and a girl picking him from a mug shot book, and it matched the name and address on the back of the script were a bit slim!

We all left after giving evidence so don't even know if he was found guilty!
