the thing that gets me mad,in england the meds are free but they dont give them out,till mabye you have seen a gp 4 times . . this is to stop scam,s in benifit for one. an the nhs puts a block on them do to cost.but you would be suprised at the people who dont persist they need med,s an give up visiting the gp.so a lot are scamming as the benifits are more cash for illness that out of work,some may get them an not take them without the gp knowing. they get away will the scam.an are signed on benifit were there gp wont call them in as they havent ant idea about mental illness so aviod the qeustions.THEN you get the people back an fourth to the surgery complaining the meds make them worse, these are mostly people mabye going through a minor blip in there life, an have never suffered a med side effect before.then they bail as they see what they let themselves in for an are not ill enough to take the start up crap.THIS was my favourit a guy came in the pharmacy he had read the side effects that may happen on his meds box paper, an would not take the med , he was in work so you have to pay a small cost to your meds, like £7 an he wanted his money back from the chemist, as if it was a store were you get a refund..I will just explain the meds payment system,OK if you are out of work through illness or unemployed your meds are free, but if you are in work you have to pay a small fee for you meds ,about £7 an item,so you can imaigine people on about 6 sort of meds an in work shell out a big chunk of money.£42for mabye the week, so a lot go to there pharmacy an get some inferior med at less than £7 , so there not really free if you are in work.but if you need ad,s benzos, heart tabs .diabetic tabs an so on an so on.they are all going to cost £7 each item.
