So here we are again, we've hardly packed the Xmas decorations away and it's Good Friday already...
The sun is out, the caravan parks are full, and as usual, Muggins here is one of the 3 pharmacies in the county open today.
1st script: paracetamol suppositories. SHOW ME A COMMUNITY PHARMACY THAT STOCKS THOSE! I have only come across 2 presciptions for those in the 7 years that I have been working in the UK, but i used to sell two dozen boxes over the counter every day in Brussels...
2nd script: Nystan pastilles. Anyone seen any since Xmas?
3rd script: cefalexin tabs 500mg. OK I thought, I can do that one. Things were looking up.
next script: 168 Keppra 1000mg tabs, script issued by GP from 80 miles away, printed 3 weeks ago. But all of a sudden, on Good Friday, it's urgent....
The day progresses with ridiculous scripts: 7 mirtazapine orodispersible 45mg, so now I have a box with 23 tabs left... then 25 (yes, twenty-five!) softclix lancets, then temgesic 0.2mg, then a pair of class II thigh-length stockings, no measurements, patient housebound and not present...
AAARRRGHHHH!!!!!!!
