Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little

You know when people complain about not being able to get their prescription, repeat or new, in microseconds? That's because there's systems in place, or should be, to minimise mistakes happening.

Rubbish pharmacists.

Doctor told me to slowly come off my steroids and slowly up the dose of pregabalina.

I did as instructed but feeling worse and worse all week. I assumed it was because of missing the steroids.

But doc prescribed me 25 mg.
The pharmacist gave me 100mg.

So I've been taking 4 times the dose. Even having difficulty writing this.

I'll be on the right dose tmrw

The pharmacist should be struck off. There are POM that could make you seriously ill at four times the prescribed dose. I hope you feel better soon

Took proper dose this morning and feel OK.
I've been off and on them for 18 months, so not sure when the mistake happened.
I was on small dose back then so no problems. Only recently was it upped and hit the dangerous level.

No long term harm done.

It takes a week for repeats to work it's way through the system here.
Not great but not overly onerous when you know your own med needs, I always put mine in 2 weeks before needing them, but bugger me the amount who complain on the local facebook page about running out boggles the mind.

The mailbox removal crew paid me and a neighbor a visit about 2:45 a.m. Sunday. I got to the end of my driveway and thought, hmm, something is different. Oh, no mailbox. And some tire tracks where it used to be. The ran off the road...

I called the cop shop the other day to see what was happening. Dispatch told me the report wasn't completed and got my email addy. She gave me her direct line and asked that I give that to my neighbor.

I got a little more info from the neighbor as they spoke to the officer that investigated the accident. This was before I spoke to dispatch, last Tuesday so the report wasn't complete. The officer did give my neighbors some more details. We live on a 6 mile stretch of highway, relatively straight save for a few minor curves. I'm in the middle of the longest straight stretch on that road. I'm about 4 miles from one end and 2 from the other. They were headed toward the end that is 4 miles away.

The officer told my neigbhors that they found the car empty at a stop sign near the far end. It's the only stop sign on the road. Airbags were deployed and the car was empty. This was around 2:45 a.m. They sent up drones to search for the "victim(s)." The officer didn't make it clear whether or not they located anyone. There were 11 charges filed, so there's that and the good probability that the driver got some facial damage from the airbags. They certainly did a number on missus Bwana a few years ago. Her face was swollen from the punch.

I suppose that beats eating a steering wheel.

I'm still waiting for the police report. The owner should be easy to locate. If they've got airbag face it's going to be difficult to claim the car was stolen.
