Doctor Google strikes again! 😃

Google convinces you that you are at deaths door when you go on there when you are worried!

When consulting Dr Google you learn that everything from a hangnail to a sneeze is a symptom of cancer. Best to let the professionals do their job.

Tell me Veteran , I am on Hydroxy for the rest of my life. But the gp suddenly decides that I can't have a repeat prescription unless I have a doctor appointment ( even though I am under the Hospital) and the next appointment is in 3 weeks!!

I had the same problem with my medication for Vertigo, it is for life, but when I asked to have it on my repeat prescription, the receptionist being a little Hitler, told me I have to see the doctor before I can get a repeat prescription.

So I said ok I will have an appointment to see him, she said the next available was three weeks hence!

I took my empty medication box down to my local walk in medical centre, saw the doctor after a one hour wait, and he gave me a repeat prescription, and told me that he would contact my GP and recommend the tablets be added to my repeat prescription, and they were...... dont you have a local walk in medical centre Bazzak..... if not, contact your nursing specialist at the hospital, and tell them the trouble your having... telephone, dont write a letter or email!!

I mentioned it to my consultant at my next Hospital appointment and he gave me a prescription for 3 months and emailed my gp to sort themselves out, but we really dont need the hassle do we!.
