I called yesterday to pick up a prescription about 10.00 am. Receptionist said she had it but it wasn't signed by the doctor.
Told me to call back about 11.30am which I did. Receptionist couldn't find it and kept searching around her and said "I did get it signed".
Meanwhile while she was looking around her - doctor came and boiled herself some water for a drop of tea beside her. Receptionist is still looking hurriedly. Doctor said - print it out again and | will sign it again. Receptionist says "I probably gave it out".
The only time a scrip will be given to an outsider, in my surgery, is when the patient has signed a form issued by that surgery for a third party to collect it.

surgerys are over stretched by too many patients so mistakes will be made. My surgery have gone electronic so the prescription goes direct to your chosen pharmacy
If the doc hadn't given you another script, you'd still be there waiting for them to find the original - which may (or may not) turn up and they will probably throw it in the bin. I don't see a problem.
When I go to the chemist to collect my prescription, they always ask for my address before handing it over. I'm sure they will do the same at every pharmacy.
Don't worry about it.
Pretty sure that if that is the case, the person with the wrong script will immediately realise that their medication isn't what it should be. Still no problem and definitely no drama.
well when you see a guy coming out of a chemist (like outside the door) another shady guy waiting for him. Hands him money and the first guy gives him the pharmacy bag.
So my prescriptiion could have found its way into the wrong hands.
