Is it me?

I asked the chemist last weekend for a repeat of my batch medications A and B.  Got an email back saying ‘batch expired: contact GP’.  Did so, told chemist so, and got reply saying ‘OK: I’ll watch out for it’.  Went to collect yesterday, and on opening the packet today, found meds C and D.  By which time I’d just ordered fresh supplies of C and D.   Called in on chemist: ‘Yes, the batch for A and B has been renewed, but you need to order it’, and it won’t be ready till Thursday.  The last time I was there to collect medication E, they had two prescriptions of it awaiting collection.  Given that I’ve also been having trouble with other prescribed supplies, it seems there’s a mix of non-dispensing, wrong dispensing and phantom dispensing going on.  Either that or I’ve finally lost my marbles.  Discuss.
