Bad, bad chemist

I've been thinking for a while about whether or not to post this.  But yesterday I found out more about just how bad this pharmacy is and decided I would.  A couple of weeks ago, the chemist rang me just after I got home with a couple of prescriptions for Ella.  Turned out they'd given me someone else's antibiotics (a different one and at a higher dose!).  Thank God I hadn't just looked at the dosage and given them to her already.  They sent someone over straight away to swap the bottles over.  I didn't think at the time about the implications of how dangerous their mistake was - I was too tired to think straight that day.  Then my MIL told me that they'd just been in the news locally, as that same pharmacy has sent TWO babies to the hospital after giving them someone else's drugs - a newborn was given an adult's anti-psychotics even!!!  How they can screw up so many times is beyond me, especially when they make you wait at least 15 mins for the easiest of scripts to dispense, so that they can apparently do all of their 'checks' to make sure they have the right person.  They also only ordered in half the amount of formula that was on Ella's prescription, said they'd call when the rest arrived, and never rang.  Needless to say, I'm not using them again - they're useless and dangerous.  And if anyone in Palmy wants to know who to avoid, PM me and I'll let you know which Pharmacy it is, because until they can get something as important as a child's prescription right, I don't think they're worth the risk. 

Yes please!

OH my gosh that is just wrong!
I am surprised they still have a license!

Go to my Uncle's pharmacy! The Chemist Shop by Pak N Save

(And please please please don't let that be the one you are speaking of... I don't think it is!)

i know which one it is, and no nikki, you're uncle is safe. the pharmacy you speak of, next to pak n save had this really cool asian chemist in with funky hair.

the chemist andie is speaking about has been in the papaer and is next to another doctor in the city - am i right?

Well they shouldn't have made those mistakes if they didn't want word to get out!

And if you happen to see a Ginger Phamacist at the Chemist shop... 'tis my Uncle Al. (Hannah gets her hair from my daddio's side)

Yeah I remember a re year's ago I went to them and they were really unhelpful.

Ginger's rule the world!



(Just thought I'd stick that in)

(Oh, and obviously - very uncool Andie that you've been through this. I'm glad that Ella is safe.)

Oh another Ginger here to take over!

Do not feel bad Andie, it was going to happen anyway!

Oh Wow I use to serve that guy in paky all the time that is so sad.  He was very cool.
