morning all......happy Easter or whatever you say....poor Jesus

Can any of you gerries answer this question for me?

My OH takes a "memory" pill to help with his vascular dementia.

We had to have a new script recently and after taking his memory tests, the doc. said yes it was working a little so could therefore give us a new script.

So here's the question that even the chemist can't answer.

The doc. couldn't (by law) give us the script during our visit, but had to POST it to us??????:O

What is the difference?  can anyone answer that for me?  there was no special registered mail or anything.

Thats strange Gilly.

Maybe the perscription has to be type written and posted

because chemists cant read doctors handwriting......Richo.

Gill, some drugs, if they are "experimental" have to be approved first, so perhaps he had to put in an application.

It is possible thast the script has to be approved by the Dept of Health.  I have had some medication that had to have approval from Dept of Health.

We're having a lovely time reminiscing.....<<<< funny word that..

Oh Gilly, I get very reminiscefull (I made up that word)  with just half a bottle of red ned........especially with a gal friend from the past.   The bond when you have a shared history is lovely.

And have you noticed how the years between just disappear?

My grandmother used to take a medication which needed Health Dept. approval, and a few years ago I needed a medication needing approval.  In both cases the doctor just rang a special number and was issued with an Approval Number which had to be put on the script.

My father was on medication for osteoporosis which was only meant for women...men had to get a special approval for its use, and only if they were actually diagnosed with the condition. Initially the approval had to be done by mail, but after that it was just a phone call.

The phone calls can be very time consuming....maybe your doctor did not want to waste the time while he had patients waiting so used to do this sort of thing after hours.  The silly thing about it was that the calls had to be made by the doctor...he could not pass the job on to his nurse or practice manager to do.

Typical government time wasting IMO.

Have a great Easter folks.

Most time azure the doc rings for approval at the time, but maybe you are right.  Can't think of any other reason.

Happy Easter everyone - again 😉

After all, how many have we all seen?  I feel as tho Jesus is a ping pong ball - always returning....  sorry just for fun :^O

I am transcribing letters written by a young man back in 1942 when he joined the Navy and served in the Pacific.  The letters are to his young lover and some of them are so sad and so desperate for her.

The worst is that over the years he was away the relationship finally broke down - too much distance for too long 😞

How's everyone ?
