Emma says she struggled getting medication from her doctors so ended by using other people's - but she later found it out it was illegal.
I’ve been thinking about the cost of prescription-sharing to the NHS Like most people, my morning routine began with a shower, teeth cleaning and all over moisturiser. To the unsuspecting eye, I was just like everyone else. However, my toothpaste and moisturiser weren’t items I’d actually purchased, but were prescribed medications for specific conditions. The problem is, they weren’t actually for my conditions, but prescribed for other people’s medical ailments.
I got this from an elderly neighbour who never actually used it himself. He had it for some flaky skin on his elbows, which soon dried up but he kept collecting it for free from his chemist. It was still on his monthly prescription and it didn’t seem important to cancel. By then, others like myself were using it and he kept the order just for us. As for the toothpaste, it was from a friend. She has cancer and it’s a sensitive blend and helps my gum disease greatly.
