You don’t need prescription for paracetamol afaik, could be prescription strength I guess
If you need more than I think it’s about 16 in a single transaction you do in the UK I think.
If it’s in a hospital setting any medication given likely needs an MD order.
Decided to test a former pharm tech.
Omg it actually works

Funny, but also not. Just Googled because I couldn’t remember:
“According to the Institute of Medicine, physician’s illegible notes lead to approximately 7,000 deaths annually.”
Seems unreal. Even if it was half that…that’s a lot of people. If I was getting prescribed drugs, I want it LEGIBLE. Typed up would be great. I just don’t trust that shit, and neither should any of you.
This is likely why I haven’t seen my doctor write anything for over a decade. Literally everything is done on the computer now. There’s a rolling computer in each room. The only handwriting I saw was by the nurses on a big whiteboard when my wife was giving birth. Just to pass notes and write times.
As someone who’s done IT work for a medical facility, that’s not as much of a step up as you might think.
No surprise. Lead is very toxic. /s
Back in the day I used to work at one of the largest hospitals in the US. In my last year there they had started having doctors record their notes, issues order, and prescriptions, on an audio file, using and issued microphone. Then that stuff was sent to a group of people transcribing everything in text. these scribes would also fill out forms for the orders and prescriptions. they did this in response to a series of lawsuits they lost badly.
some said i was destined to be a doctor with my handwriting and family. i decided to break the cycle and become a videographer that barely scrapes by. my family is… they like the videos i make of our get togethers…
at least i haven’t accidentally killed anyone.
How much do MDs actually write a day? Are they saving that much time by doing that shit?
40% of the visit is typing. They need to keep history, write the perscription etc. Nowadays they do that on PCs. Though I used to have a doctor that wrote everything on a typing machine. You’d tell him what’s wrong and then he’d write it, often with tons of typos (he wouldn’t start over). Obviously meds were always correct, it was just funny seeing a doctor butchering words and being unable to correct himself.
What about the little story about red riding hood along that last twisty bit? It’s funny because of the British accent, clearly nope, specially not on percetamenofemol as prescribed.

Nah, I can give them p-r-------l at least.
