Ordering medication

I am with a rural dispensing practice and once a month on a Tuesday volunteers pick up a box of medication for our village. We order online the previous week.
This month I was unwell on ordering day and did not send the order in till first thing the next morning. I have just had a message rapping me over the knuckles for being late and saying they might not be able to dispense.

If you order it a day in advance you get a slap too. If only patients were superhuman!

An older person with health vulnerabilities that need medication feels unwell takes their eye off the ball and is reprimanded. Good to know compassion and understanding are still alive in the world!! There’s a receptionist at our surgery who I’ve nicknamed Mrs Shouty. She only has one tone of voice, high pitched and loud - she never stops to take a breath. It’s hard to tell if she’s cross or not but I always feel that I’ve done something wrong!
