I'm pretty much out of it now, but last week I asked my brother to buy a medicine I use. Because it was just one item listed on my prescription and I needed the rest for later (the date was still valid) and my brother couldn't tell the difference between my medicines, I marked the one I need and even showed it to him on the paper. He went to the drugstore while being in town for some stuff, a drugstore that is part of a big local chain. I didn't check the bag until hours later, when I discovered they sold him another drug I use but don't need at the moment. It wasn't even the usual brand I use, but a variant brand that uses the exact same components. But whatever. I was angry and frustrated from other things, but this made me take it all on my brother. He said that he showed the prescription to the pharmacist and pointed on the marked item, but somehow the stupid bitch gave him the wrong medicine.
A day or two later was around the store again and I gave him the same prescription with the wrong medicine with a strike on it, marked as being provided already. I again showed him what I need exactly but said that he can leave them the paper because I won't need it anymore, with everything I need on it provided already and the expire date closing in. When he returned home he immediately gave me the bag to check it. Guess what? Another pharmacist, wrong again! Same medicine, another brand that I haven't heard about before. I even looked carefully on the components to be sure - and there was no doubt the same drugstore made the same mistake twice. Before showing me the bag my brother says: "The pharmacist told me that this drug was already provided to you recently..." Of course it did, you idiot pharmacist!
You can imagine that I was even more furious now. I wanted to get to that store when I have time and throw both medicines at whoever is there, ask for the manager and a refund. Eventually I let it go and told my brother I'm never going to buy prescription drugs in that place. The pharmacy in my local infirmary is way better, I guess...
