"Organising my medication for going on holiday."

Hi it was at the end of June. I was going on holiday at the beginning of July. I needed 2 weeks of my medication to go on holiday. I normally call my GP 3 to 4 days before I go on holiday to ask my GP to allow me to get 2 weeks instead of 1 week of my pills & my GP to call my pharmacy to get them to give me 2 weeks. I need to call the week before I go on holiday. If I call GP too early (over a week before I go they will not give them to me). So I called my GP the week prior to my holiday. Only to be allowed to ask my GP about my pills.

I tried to explain to the receptionist this is how I've done it this way for well over 8-9 years. They still refused to help me. Because of the lack of help or understanding (from the receptionist) of the situation I had to go on holiday without enough medication. In the end I had no pills for 2 & half days without any of my pills especially my pain killer & my antidepressants. The receptionist was so bad that I had to pass the phone to my wife to finish the call because they nearly had me crying due to a panic attack which they caused.
