Since that day I've regretted just looking at him gobsmacked rather than giving the utter ^$%& a piece of my mind at the top of my voice. Well if it ever happens again...
The pharmacy I am registered has a small consultation room next to the counter if medication has to be discussed. I was asked to enter it once because the pharmacist required some feed back on the medication I had been prescribed previously and its efficacy. I duly obliged. A satisfactory arrangement.
Practices vary who does what. I know my prescription has a rubber stamp with a review date but it has only happened once. As I get my repeats via Patient Access I don't take the repeat counterfoil on the script. As long as the Doctor approves my electronic request the Pharmacist takes it from there. One locum pharmacist was horrified that a hospital had discharged me with a cocktail of medication which could have resulted in serious consequences when taken with my usual medication. I was ushered into the consultation room and questioned as to who prescribed what and when. At least she was on the ball. My GP wasn't.
