Prescription Charge

Explains a lot. How are the cash-in-transit heists these days? Are the numbers picking up as we get closer to Xmas

3 heists so far just this month that we had to clean up after and do investigations. Okes used C-4 / Semtex explosives as well on ATM's (Seperate crimes from the CIT heists)

Biggest issue I have to deal with is SAPS/Gov red tape.

To what end? You can't use a SA script in the US and you can't send medication into the country without a lot of red tape.
 
"A friend, presently in America, has contacted me because she needs a repeat prescription from her endocrinologist for her medication. The charge is R400"

I think OP means the friend is arriving soon here in SA from America.
 
Mine was charged at R 560 the last time I checked. They abide by the medicine schedule, no prescriptions in advance.

Warrafok... Prescription charge from where I am in Durban (Suburb) is R100-R150.

OFC you can't ask for Rohypnol/Morphine/Barbiturates. Rest of the Schedule 5 stuff is ok. DM if you want details.
 
Not related to the op's problem but I just go to a pharmacist that returns the prescription back to me.
He does the same on the next refill.

I guess, that is why I need to have a medical aid savings account. As Mirai said, it involves a checkup. They won't give a prescription without a checkup, and sometimes there are specialists involved too.

Same with my Pharmacist. I went to to High school with that fat fuk.

I get a 6x repeat Prescription from Doc - Pharmacist makes a copy and stores it - then returns original to me.
 
Sounds like too much effort. I whatsapp my Dr and a new prescription is at the pharmacy within the hour.

Script is for immediate use in America as she is staying there. I paid and she had it when she woke up, seven hours behind us. I suggested that, when she finds a doctor there, she should instruct her guy here to send her records to the new practice since they are her property.

Recently, I went to reception at my surgeon's practice and asked for a script to help me sleep a week after the op. After a five minute wait it was given to me no charge. Last time I asked for sleeping muti was in Lusaka and the GP prescribed Mandrax - a magic pill at that time.

If I'm not mistaken, someone told me you can buy any meds in the UAE without prescription. You just have to buy i.e. spend money and not get on insurance/med aid.

However, many people who work there have medical insurance which covers all or requires a small co-payment.

Nope. Nowhere in the world is that possible.

Interesting. My brother in law must have a script for his medication. Maybe it's because it's mental related.

South Africa bruh. Corrupt Doctors. Corrupt Pharmacicies.

All you gotta do is toss a R200 note (Inflation...before it was a R100 note) for 'cooldrink money'.

So why do you need the MSA?

Either way you are paying for it.
