Thatās unfortunately it. Iāve had the misfortune to look at a nursing home contract. Itās as depressing a read as youād think. Every little bit extra over existing is an extra and costs more with a dollop of humiliation on the side.
Elderly people and how we treat them in their final years defines a society.
Iāll turn you into a socialist yet!
The influx of international operators is actually better than what was there before. It is like the argument on institutional landlords vs. small time ones, the bigger the better for compliance and the public- just so long as it doesnāt turn into a pure oligopoly.
The HSE running these places, or charities, is likely more preferable. But comes with its own issues.
I think people who canāt look after themselves - elderly , disabled , children should be cared for and we should pay for that. Itās the right thing to do. Itās the only thing to do.
I donāt agree with giving away a comfortable lifestyle at tax payers expense to able bodied adults who donāt fancy a bit of work/graft and think somebody else should work so they donāt have to
Me. Sick kid (heās grand but we knew hed need antibiotics) off to ddoc to avoid trying to get him seen tomorrow. Antibiotics prescribed. Left ddoc in swords and went straight for the late night pharmacy on the tĆ²n le gaoth bĆ²thar ar nĆ²s madra le h-aspirin suas a thĆ²in. Got there at 9.58. Door locked. 5 staff inside refusing to fill juhy juniors prescription. Turned off the lights at top of shop and waited til 10. They all walked out. Nothing we can do. Not insured after 10. They can throw out those kids prescriptions in 2 fucking minutes. Juhy junior pulled a fair act of looking shook too fair play to him. Theres no way we can be on the premises after 10 he saysā¦ seeeeething
Thatās a real act of shithousery on their partā¦
Thatās some bollix actingš”
Ah im sure most chemists are shut 5 mins early but id bust myself to get there and was fuming.
The caredoc should have given you enough to last him the night, and then give a prescription to go at your leisure in the AM. Hope the lad is not too bad.
If there was ever justification for a gallon of petrol and a box of matches this is it.
Iām seething here myself reading it.
In fact, you could go back and ask the caredoc for a bit for the lad for tonight, and explain that the pharmacy was closed. I know this because thereās no pharmacy open after 8pm at latest in Wexford Town and this is what they do. Worth a try.
sure no court in the land would convict me!
Nah heās asleep now with a whack of nurofen inside him. Weāll getbit in the morning and itāll be grand.
Theyāre useless bastards. You go into any pharmacy with a prescription, you have to fuck off for half an hour for them to roll a few tablets into a bottle and put a sticker on it.
Doctor should have known though, theyāre usually clued in on times of pharmacy. Iād say the pharmacy by law and insurance canāt sell after 10pm alright. Doctor is who Iād aim seethe at. But sure look, the lad will be good.
Thereās a lad in portmarnock who is a legend for rhat. Even if you ring it in a half hour early you still have to wait when you get there. Heās a bit of a mad bastard but youd have to like him.
Best one when itās just a cream in a pre-packed case and no one is about 
Letting a girl die because they werenāt insured to give her mother an epi pen
Cunts.
Donāt ye have any twenty four hour pharmacies? Sounds like a fierce backward place altogether.
