Hi Everyone
Well today was my first trip back to the pharmacy since I went on Tuesday and they wouldn't give me LT because I didn't have the GP permission (due to being on BP meds). Yes, I was naughty and used a left over supply to start on Wednesday despite this and got the form from the doctor yesterday so took it to the pharmacy today.
I was filled with high hopes, that I'd have a nice friendly chat about the plan, they'd give me some advice, ask me a few questions, show an interest, etc. I even told them I was currently on Day 4. And what did they say to me? Nothing, zero, zip, nada... not a word... about anything. This is how the conversation went (after the initial "we can't find your forms, you were here tuesday? oh right um..." palava)
Pharmacy "Come through the back..."
Me ...*follows*
Pharmacy "You've been on it before, yeah?"
Me "Yes, and I'm currently on Day 4 since I had a supply left over and started on Wednesday while I waited on my GP signing the form"
Pharmacy "Stand on the scales"
Me *stands on the scales*
Pharmacy *states weight* "Does that sound right?"
Me "Yes."
Pharmacy "What flavours you want?"
Me *tells them*
Pharmacy "That'll be £xx. See you next week."
I mean O.O come -on- not one single word about the plan passed their lips. All of the staff there looked totally miserable, totally unapproachable and, to be perfectly honest, didn't inspire any confidence in me whatsoever. Stupidly, lacking the confidence I do right now, I never said anything, just left the store and wondered if it'd be possible to switch my forms over to a new pharmacy. If it wasn't for the medical form I'd just do it and not look back.
Not quite sure what to do about this. Has anyone else had an unhelpful experience? Should I ring LT or should I just switch pharmacies? I feel rather nervous about going into this one and asking for all my forms so I can take them to a new pharmacy. What do you all think? Help!
