Re: I'd like your thoughts please.
Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed.
I'll try not to waffle too much, but on advice from the pharmacy joined on to the GP's, I took the meds back and told them on reception that I was returning them as they should never have been given to me.
She said the doctor wouldn't have given them to me in that case!! I showed her the packet. She checked my records and saw I was telling the truth. She looked rather shocked. She then called someone else over.
After more discussion they said the doctor who had issued them was not in until the end of this week. I said in that case would they inform another doctor, because I had stopped taking them and needed to know whether I should an alternative.
In the end they told me they would speak to another doctor and someone from the surgery would ring me tomorrow.
I had an unmistakeable feeling the second woman was trying hard to play it down.
I wasn't rude, unpleasant, or aggressive in any way, but stuck to my guns that I wanted it noted and what was to be done about it.
The Pharmacist also put it on my records they hold, and said if ever it happened again, they would refuse to issue the prescription, which I thought was good of him.
I await the outcome when they phone.
Had the error been with a drug that made me seriously ill, or hospitalised, I would have taken a different route altogether. This particular drug just doesn't agree with me and I get horrendous vomitting and that is why I can't take it.

As for the roofer, I am still mulling over what everyone has said and will have to sleep on that one.
I did tentatively talk to the chap across the road this evening though, and he said he will pop over tomorrow and look at the job. So I'll see what tomorrow brings.
Thank you once again everyone, you've been very kind.
