Those are literally over-the-counter food supplements that she is trying to make out are these super-duper sick people life-saving meds, like she thinks we don’t all know
She could have ordered them online and had them delivered to her door weeks ago. Online pharmacies have 210mg of ferrous fumarate retailing, in 84 tablet packets, for under £3. Folic acid for less than £2. Inc. delivery she could have had it all for less than £9, which is than the cost of her taxi to the pharmacy. Instead, she’s just gone a fortnight without something she allegedly needed “urgently” and then cost herself in cab fare, and the NHS in the time, expertise and resources of a GP, pharmacist, etc.
What a waste! Yes, undoubtedly Brexit and Conservative mis-spending has contributed to the sorry state of our NHS, but so has misuse of the service,
without shadow of a doubt. People going to A&E for something they could have seen their GP about tomorrow, people seeing their GP for something that could have been home remedied or treated by a pharmacist, the Sarahs of the world who are desperate to be ill they keep phoning up with every fart and sneeze hoping it’s a sign of something terminal, and take no accountability for their own nutritional intake to the point they feel unwell, etc.
There’s a reason there was a “don’t swallow the NHS” or whatever campaign. It costs the NHS
hundreds of millions to prescribe over-the-counter stuff that would cost someone peanuts to provide for themself, like supplements, anti-allergy tablets, creams, and painkillers. Paracetamol is 39p in the supermarket (if not less) but a fiver to the NHS for someone who gets “free prescriptions” once you factor in all of the time, admin and expertise it takes to prescribe something from GP to pharmacist to cashier. There are some things that just shouldn’t be given on “free prescription” and a fiver’s worth of food supplements for a thick and saggy old tart who refuses to look after her own health is one of them.
People who have never worked a day in their lives just have no concept of the value of anything, do they?
ETA: Correction, I just realised she’s been prescribed 5mg of Folic Acid and that is quite a lot more expensive than the generic 0.4mg dose. However, still cheaper than fast food and taxis everywhere, she still could have had it all delivered to her door for less than £20 if she was that passionate about saving the NHS and not mugging it off for all it’s worth. We’ve seen the tat she keeps wasting money on, she absolutely has £20 to invest in her health.
12 stone isn't a size 10 and that's fine. Managing to get into the odd size 10 dress cos it's a loose floaty fit doesn't make you a size 10. Stop tap dancing for crumbs of attention.
