Asking for inappropriate medicine review
I contacted the surgery to get some painkillers which are on my prescription. I had just left hospital after kidney transplant and was in a lot of pain. They would not prescribe and have asked for a medicine review in two weeks time. This means that vital medicine I need is on hold until after the review. I think this is totally inappropriate given my situation and now risk running out of medicine before the review. I know this is an inappropriate review timing as i then went via 111 and they agreed to dispense the painkillers. The pharmacist could not dispense as the Dhital surgery has them on hold. The pharmacist said this was 'cruel' given my considerable post-op pain .
