Hey guys,
Usually when I go on holiday or I've got a bit trip planned I get a letter from my doctor to say I can take sharps on the plane. However this time my doctor has decided to be difficult and say it will take 7-10 days for a letter (I leave on Monday) and that it will cost £15. This had never happened to me before, usually I sit down with a doctor and they write out a letter for me and it costs nothing.
My question is, can I take my repeat prescription to the airport and use that as evidence for why I have needles with me?
Thanks!
