My Doctors are Useless
Gah, Im so annoyed. I got a phonecall last week from the hospital saying I needed iron tablets and that they were faxing my results through to my doctors so I should have a prescrition ready. So the next day rang my doctors and explained what the hospital had said and they said my prescription would be ready on Thursday-I also asked for a repeat prescription of gaviscon-which I was told would also be ready on Thursday.
I didnt get round to picking them up until today-when I got there I was told there were no prescriptions for me and asked what it was I was wanting to pick up, when I said Iron tablets the receptionist looked on my file and asked if I meant folic acid........I managed to stay polite but I felt like going into a rant about how if I meant folic acid I would have said folic acid and not iron tablets (Plus its pretty obvious Im passed the 12 week mark)
I had to give them the whole story on how I had gone to the hospital for my glucose tolerance test and they took my 28 week bloods at the same time and had got the call about a week later. She had another look on my file and said they hadnt recieved the fax from the hospital so she'd have to check with them first then give me a call.
Surely if they hadnt got the fax I should have been told that on the phone-they could have chased the hospital then and my prescription would have been ready. I also cant help but feel that its not the hospitals fault but my doctors since the gaviscon wasnt there either and when my sister was pregnant my doctors forgot to tell her that she needed the iron tablets.
Its not too bad as I cant buy both iron tablets and gaviscon over the counter, although I shouldnt have to as I should be getting free prescriptions (although Im not gunna bother now, its more trouble then its worth) but what happens if I need something prescribed that I cant just buy-are my doctors gunna be just as incompitent as they have been recently?
Sorry-it just winds me up

rant ova lol x
she also couldn't find the babies heart beat and kept saying 'oh dear i can't find her', not really what you want to hear, it just happened that she was tucked away.
she has a wonderful nack of making you feel a complete jittery mess my the time you leave and i dread every time i have to go, luckily it won't be her that's at the birth.
i just keep thinking i'm getting all the crap out the way now so that the birth will be nice and easy! good luck and try not to stress x x
ive got her again this time round but lucky im prepared for her, like you said lucy at least you dont get them for labour , that would be nightmare ! lol
