Argghhh
It should be a simple system, I send an email to my GP requesting a selection of items form my repeat list. They sort out the prescription, Tesco collect it and then I pick up the stuff when I'm shopping.
So many times I go and collect the stuff only to find that I have been issues with the wrong items. They always match the printed prescription but not the original email. The problem is definitely when whoever at the GP transfers the email to the prescription request. I've made them as clear as I can and with a total number of items (after they kept missing ones completely) and when I ring to correct the problem they always tell me the email is clear :roll:
I've had novo pens instead of novorapid catridges :shock: not really the same thing.
Last year I ended up with about 6 boxes of lancets as they gave me those instead of the test strips I'd requested and in the last 2 months I've had test strips instead of the lancets I requested. I wouldn't mind having extra strips but they are for a meter I don't often use.
When I rang up today apparently lancets are no longer on my repeat as I haven't requested any for a while. Err maybe because I'm only just reaching the end of the 600 you sent me by mistake last year :crazy:
Ahh well, I'm told I'll need to do lots of testing when I start the pump next month so I suppose I'll get through the extra strips. Please tell me ordering pump supplies isn't as random though, I don't think I could handle that.
