Oh, good grief.

My missing prescription from Monday turned up in the post yesterday, after the surgery got their printers working again.

I took it to a pharmacy just now – who refused to fill it, because the doctor had (presumably due to the unusual circumstances) forgotten to sign it.

Gah! That's rubbish.

What happens if you scribble something in the box and take it to another pharmacy?

Pharmacists have no discretion in this matter.

Not IME.
