I do know what you mean. More waiting in the hospital
I don't understand why it takes them 4 or 5 hours to get a few pills ready. It's a major hospital, the biggest in the area, so the pharmacy must be a reasonably well staffed department. I know they can be busy, but surely they're told when people are going to be discharged and can have them ready..?
We asked couldn't they just give us a prescription so we could take it to our local pharmacy, but oh no, they can't do that
