Glad to hear no aneurysms found @Beer_budget.

Yes, I didn't really appreciate how much that bit of troublesome family history was nagging in the back of my mind until I got the all clear.

My GP has started using a new method of prescriptions,
He enters the data on the computer and I get an SMS. Then at the pharmacist they scan the QR code and the details transfer to their computer. Nice and easy.

Oh and just a minor script for my BP so not problems.

Very convenient. I have been using it for years now.

Hasn't that been happening for quite some time?
My GP, several specialists and Pharmacist have certainly been using the system.
Unless I am misinterpreting the detail - which is entirely possible.

Ah. Messages crossed with zig.
Seems to be the same experience.

Three weeks and I'm finally recovering from the horrendous chesty thing I got. Still coughing occasionally, particularly at night but at least I'm now functional.
