and that's fine. If they feel they understand the prescription there's no reason they shouldn't issue it.

We're talking about an instance where he couldn't understand the prescription. 

What other chemists do with a different understanding is of no relevance to this particular instance.

It's a bit unusual. He must have been unfamiliar with the bilingual system, because he doesn't need to speak Welsh. Very new to Wales. Maybe a newly trained pharmacist. Who knows?

There should have been better training, support, whatever. It was Morrisons though ?

Who knows? Ultimately it doesn't matter.

The important thing - the *MOST* important thing - is that he didn't issue a prescription he didn't feel he could issue safely.

It's not helping the kid to give the wrong medicine &/or dose.

No, but you or I could have understood the prescription.

I don't think we know the whole story.

I've just been reading about how pharmacists were expected to fill in for ordinary supermarket workers by managers who didn't understand the specialist nature of the work.

Makes you wonder if they also did that in reverse. Just who was asked to dispense the medicine?

Would anyone normally think of Morrisons to collect prescription drugs?

possibly, but that's an irrelevance.

In this instance the guy concerned didn't understand the prescription.

I'm sure it was just a linguistic misunderstanding ?

I'm sure you're getting increasingly desperate trying to keep up your weird narrative.

You might mug someone else into thinking that story is related - Lad would buy it in an instant - but some of us aren't mugs.

The smilie was indicative. Not making a serious point at all.

It's a Welsh pharmacist in a posh part of South Wales.

Clearly my jokes need work.
