Dispensing

Printed labels are not a waste of time

From Mr A. F. Huntley, MRPharmS

Sage words from pharmacist/lawyer Graham Southall-Edwards (PJ, 15 January, p54) who seemingly has lost his logic: “The dispensing is done over the counter with prescription and medicine lying in front of both patient and pharmacist.”

How convenient, except for the house-bound octagenarian who has sent along a neighbour. Does Mr Southall-Edwards summon a taxi to bring such patients to take part in this consultation, and who pays for the taxi?
