[QUOTE="viv1969, post: 174168, member: 5941"] I usually take my prescriptions to my local dispensing chemist, however this past weekend I thought that because I had several errands to run in town, I would just drop my script into Boots, then pick it up again when I was doing with my errands. Think again. I went back to Boots and when the assistant can back to the counter with my items in bag, she said that before they would give them to me I had to speak to the dispensing chemist to discuss my medications. Now I had a medication review just days before with my GP, and had 7 minutes remaining on my car park ticket, so I told this to the assistant and she refused to give me my medications! I asked to see the chemist who duly appeared and told me that he wasn't too happy about dispensing 2 particular pain medications to me at the same time, and would like to discuss it with me. I told him I had just discussed all of my medication with my GP, and was happy with the outcome of that consultation, and I had any issues then it would be to my GP that I would return. Unbelievably he still was not keen on giving me my items, saying that he would feel better if he could dicuss it with my GP. Discuss it with my GP??? I must admit I got rather snappy, and decided it was time to remind him of his legal obligations and limitations. All of this was played out in front of the counter with a bl**dy audience. Needless to say I will be returning to my local chemist Tout de suite. [/QUOTE]
