Dodgyknees Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Had trouble getting inhalers again last month - and the lady (manager) said I won't get the inhalers again till I go for an asthma checkup. I explained that I work on the mainland, and that I was away till the 14th. The only appointment available from the 16th till the 29th is 9:20am tomorrow. I am at work from 9. I'll have no inhalers till mid January at the earliest, and we have a cold period coming up. Joy! Edited December 15, 2019 by avfcDJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Watching the xfactor band show for the first time and it’s actually the final. They seem to have done the entire series in about 2 weeks and it shows. Theres 2 rival bands, boy band and a girl band and the boy band in particular are absolutely atrocious. Just looked on Twitter and it’s universal criticism of the band and the show. They finish and Nicole Scherzinger says how fantastic they are and they can rival (one of the biggest boy bands in the history of music) One Direction. The show has absolutely zero credibility.

My office is 90mins from my house, and my doctors is 40 mins from my house (opposite direction). Working from home is a possibility but not till after Xmas, so I'll just have to wait. Obviously, prescribing inhalers solves this, but she already told me I can't have any more. I've had asthma for 30plus years, it's never been a problem before, only the past 18 months.

I get my repeat prescription online (pharmacy2u), in theory I should have an appointment with the doctor every 2 years and it says on the prescription every time “review overdue”. However, they always approve the prescription and it comes in the post a few days later. Maybe have a look at getting the inhalers via someone like pharmacy2u?

Get yourself down to the local chemists and ask to speak to the pharmacist. They should be able to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 A mate was without his inhalers at a festival we were at. Called the nearest chemist and got some without prescription as they called his doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Called the nearest chemist and got some without prescription as they called his doctor. Yeah, gonna try the pharmacy. Although I have put a prescription request in online and will see if that gets accepted today. Remember, these were the same doctors who left me to suffer a bad chest, ending with me collapsing because they refused to give me antibiotics and instead gave me a nose spray I think the NHS here is where the mainland will be in a hear or two. We are always the first to go downhill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I am not on any social media at all. My mate said last night, so what do you read on the toilet? It's a fair point. He doesn't own a telly so I said what is the focal point of your living room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who don't own TVs usually have a house full of books - which would solve the toilet reading issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted December 22, 2019 Moderator Share Posted December 22, 2019 Every year at work, the supervisors staff and above get a Xmas bonus and a gift of some form of alcohol. Every year some new member of staff does the crawly bumlick thing of thanking the board of directors This year a newish member of staff managed to send his obsequious arse lick of an email to... The entire staff of the company. Thus telling all the lower downs what we get (they don't get the bonus and a lesser gift), also telling the rest of us what an arse he us and proving to the very people that he's trying to impress what a tit he is. Brightened up my day reading that this morning 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
