Hi Jaysay, wondered where you had gone ... would have brought you some grapes if I had known or the latest Tory bulletins to cheer you up..
I wonder why the prescription took so long ? Must be staff shortages or the system, e.g. does the prescription take time to get from the ward to the pharmacy after a patient is discharged (maybe waiting for doctor's signature) ? Do the chemists concentrate on getting drugs to the wards before discharged patients ? Is it closed at certain times of the day ? etc.
The nurse who informed you was going to be 5 o'clock, must have known why it would take some time because of how the system operates. Think does need an explanation though.
Suspect Jaysay would be in a ward where there is oxygen about, so he may not have been able to use his mobile ?
