Re: Dizzy
Julie thank goodness you are ok! I hope you are going to make a formal complaint about the GP surgery. The receptionists should not be writing the prescriptions.
We have an online system and whenever I need a change the GP does it on the system while in surgery. The GP has to authorise any changes if there is a mistake but I always double check online and also when I get the package in the chemist.
The trouble is when people are sick and as they get older it's more difficult to check these things and I sometimes wonder how many hospital admissions are purely down to simple mistakes with medication.
A good pharmacist will spot errors and contact the surgery. With an electronic system they have all the records so can see whether there is anything amiss.
