Looking back on this blog as of late I suppose there are indeed more than a few postings that do follow a similar theme …. like how difficult it seems to be to make a simple purchase, visit a Doctor or even recieve the correct breakfast sandwhich in your order . The wife quite rightly accuses me of repeating myself and boring people with the same story line more than once and I’m afraid I’m about to do it again .
Lets revisit the the prescriptions the Doctor sent over to the pharmacy shall we . For a start it took 24 hours to get one of the three with the explanation from the pharmacist that it was the only one to come up on the system . To rectify this glitch it took not one but “three” trips back to the Doctors office where the busy young girl informed us each and every time they were sent and that she would resend them .
On the eigth day , and to our glee the busy pharmacist said there was something in the system . But it was only one and he promptly filled it at which point we figured two out of three ain’t bad , paid up and headed out too disgusted to even grumble .
I remember years ago when I’d go to the auto parts store when cars were repairable by a back yard mechanic. The man behind the tall counter would flip open an immense book , thumb a few pages and go get the correct part in a minute flat . I’m thinking I also recollect hand written scripts from the Doctor went just as smooth not so long ago.
Anyway , the wife just opened the package from the pharmacy to discover a copy of the same prescription that she received over a week ago leaving the other two still lost in cyber space .
