March 20, 201411 yr Was hearing/reading yesterday, that on the pilot's home flight simulator (a suspicious thing in and of itself), that a bunch of files had been deleted from it, that they were trying to somehow recover.... *yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn* scuse me...
March 20, 201411 yr Are you tired then Biggy :lol: , I am tired as well , only one more day to go to the weekend & then I am off for two days as I never work Sat or Sunday, it's against my religion :P It's all rather odd with what happened, i wonder if it's the wreckage that in the sea south of Australia although it's a mighty long way away from where it started off.... I do not believe for one minute that satellites had not picked it up before now but with countries protecting their spying equipment etc I am afraid that peoples lives do not really matter to them :angry: .
March 21, 201411 yr I'm tired, since, I haven't had an 'on time' night for getting out all week...after tonight, which is night 7 in a row I'll have worked, I'll have a 3 day weekend, which will be spent, much of it, sleeping...part of the reason for the late nights over the past weekend, a remote work computer server decided to crash Saturday night, and didn't come back up for 18 hours...

Do you work on the Pharmacutical end of things Biggy or the techy side , just wondered when you mentioned computers.... Staying in bed too long is not good you know, you only need about 6-7 hrs sleep, I manage quite well on 5 & I am very old :P .... you need to get a good rest & then go out in the fresh air & get some exercise, you will not believe how good it will make you feel

March 23, 201411 yr Gosh that job I think would make me real nervous, I would be afraid that I would give someone the wrong thing :mellow:
March 23, 201411 yr Well, with the computers/software used where I work, we scan the bar code on the prescription, and what's called the NDC on the medication, if the NDC on the prescription doesn't match what's on the medication container, a message in red will pop up on the computer screen, telling one a) the NDC is different, but it's the same dose form/strength, or b) it's the wrong med altogether.....as to a), we can try to locate the medication with the NDC on the prescription, or, if we can't find the medication with that NDC, we can have the NDC on the prescription changed to what we do have...so, we have little, if any, chance to mix up medications....not to say that medication mix-ups still don't happen, as they still do, but, the chances are lessened with all the computer stuff we use...
March 23, 201411 yr My neighbour once ran out of Oxycontin tablets & she sent me to the local chemist to get a loan of some until she got her prescription from the Doctor ... I nearly got myself arrested :o , they made a big deal about the whole thing as if I was a drug addict or something :(
March 23, 201411 yr I'm on loads of drugs at the moment. :cry: But at least we don't pay for our prescriptions in Scotlandshire. Otherwise I'd have been well skint this month.... :cheer:
March 23, 201411 yr I'm well skint now.....still trying to get caught up on some bills I owe... :w00t:
March 24, 201411 yr I'm on loads of drugs at the moment. :cry: But at least we don't pay for our prescriptions in Scotlandshire. Otherwise I'd have been well skint this month.... :cheer: How are you doing Jups, are you in terrible pain :(
March 24, 201411 yr Not having had shingles myself, I cannot attest as to how painful it is.....but, from others I know who've had it, it can be extremely painful....
March 26, 201411 yr I'm on loads of drugs at the moment. :cry: But at least we don't pay for our prescriptions in Scotlandshire. Otherwise I'd have been well skint this month.... :cheer: You get your preps for free.....lucky you :huh:
March 26, 201411 yr Yes. All free for the last couple of years. :cheer: Still in pain but getting better by the day. Went back to work today. Bah... :(
March 27, 201411 yr I can hazard a guess you might be on some strength of gabapentin (Neurontin) for the pain, Jups..... :unsure: :unsure:

March 28, 201411 yr Nurofen is more akin to ibuprofen..... http://www.drugs.com/uk/nurofen-200-mg-tab...-spc-10800.html Gabapentin is an anti-convulsant, which is also used in treatment for pain, like that of shingles, or sciatica..... http://www.drugs.com/gabapentin.html Edited March 28, 201411 yr by bigwiglaf
March 30, 201411 yr I got a U2 question wrong at my quiz night on Friday. It was a round on famous celebrity baby names. Question was 'Who has a child called Memphis Eve'. I had no idea :lol: :blush: :blush: :blush:
