Pharmacists chosing not to sell it is possibly another discussion, it's an extra service rather than part of their standard stuff. Tempted to head over to P&D and see what people's thoughts are.
Nice to know that almost everyone thinks that the judgemental lectures and prying is unfair though. Thanks all.
At the moment I'm using 'My specialist says I need an appointment....'
Last time I went for a repeat prescription of the pill I had a different nurse (not a locum, just a different one) and she completely humiliated me. Surely you shouldn't be getting a lecture for wanting something that is preventative? When you are doing something right, and you get so much stick for it, you do wonder why you bother. (Well not really but I'm sure you know what I mean.)
The minute that she asks, you should ask for a room where you can discuss it in priavte because she's breaching your right to confidentiality. Alternatively (politley) point out that it's between you and the GP.
I know why they do it - because often you could be treated by a nurse, but there are still ways.
Okay, but Mrs MoK might object
Don't get me wrong, that wasn't an accusation at you personally because you are as acreful as can be from what you say. Accidents happen, it's why MAP exists.
It's perfectly correct. That said, I would ask why they went into the profession in the first place but [for example] doctors/nurses who have a moral objection to abortion do not have help in any way...
Had a feeling that was probably the case, and not knocking your skills I'd be surprised if you can spot anything I'm doing wrong that anyone else hasn't. It seems I'm 'special'.
Most pharmacists can't give it to under 16s, walk in centres and family planning nurses should though.
Well given the German decision that a gyno responsible for a failed contraception should pay for the baby, its only fair to say that the pharmacist should pay.
The woman did go back, but the MAP loses its effectiveness very rapidly- it can be used up to 72 hours after sex, but by that time it's only about 50% effective.
