Waiting, waiting,waiting.....

Waiting, waiting,waiting.....






I went into the chemist to get a sript filled, was told it was my last repeat, so thought I'd pop into the doctors to get a new .

Was told at reception that the wait shouldn't be too long.

Being the end of the week the doctors on must have been trying to fill their quota of long consultations. Every was in there so long.

People that came in ages after me were being seen. So after an hour and a half waiting, I went back to reception to ask how much longer it would be before it was my turn.... I only wanted a sript, which I told them when I went in.

Not long after that, finally my name was ed. Had blood pressure taken.... was told it was a bit high, but was probably due to the long wait. With sript in hand I was out within about 3 mins.

Got me thinking... If supermarkets have a fast check out lane, why cann't doctors have for those only wanting a ript or referral?

Don't know WTF is going on with this blog.

I came to have a look to see if there were any comments. Looked like it was written in code. I went into edit it, hit update then went back, and it was all shite again.

Went to edit it again, so hopefully it's ok this time, if not I'll just have to delete it.

And... it's not even the weekend yet.

Reminds me of that Monty Python
"chemist's sketch"
Where John Cleese dressed in a smock is up in that raised area
behind the till counter and people are
at the counter and he stands up and
Says,"O K who's got the pox."
A hand is raised and he just throws them the
bottle.

We have a 24 hr. drive thru pharmacy.

Using more than all the road!

Not being a Monty Python lover I don't know the sketch, but knowing John Cleese, his character probably was the one who gave the pox.

I'd just filled the last script, so had to go to the doctors to get further repeats, that's where the long wait was. We don't have any 24 hour pharmacies, but there's one in town that's open later than the other one.

If supermarkets have a fast check out lane...

Maybe the surgery should adopt more things from the supermarket, like self-scan where you diagnose yourself based on interaction with an AI machine which analyses your symptoms, temperature, etc, and suggests appropriate medication.

Just look out for, "Unexpected item in the waiting room!".

Love it.

Wish I'd saved that meme where the person shouts there's nothing else to go through the scanner. That's me . I hate those self serve scanners.

You're lucky....if I want a repeat prescription I have to leave a form in with the receptionist ay least a week before I need it then go back a week later to collect it!

What a great idea. So much time wasted waiting to see a doctor just for a script.

My usual doctor is always running late, so thought I go to the drop in center. Could have gone to my doctor.

How ridiculous is that? What if you need something urgently?

My sister in England has a similar problem.

They have two clocks - theirs, which can be as late as they want, & yours, which you dare not be a minute late!

Never thought of that. That explains everything.
