I could try but our pharmacy already refused her, and they're well acquainted with her diagnoses. We are at the Foot next week, to see pre-op, with a couple of different doctors, one of whom is from internal medicine. We'll ask him to see if we can get a doc to sign off on her needing to have it, otherwise we'll just try walking in somewhere and seeing if she can get it. We're taking her random camping near Radium for a few days so we're away from people, leaving Thursday, as a last minute break before surgery and seeing oncology, so I'll try a random pharmacy when we get back.

I'd love to, if the man was even around, of late. He's been gone on holidays more than he's been in office the last 2 months & he's booked solid. I don't begrudge him the holidays, it's only him in his office, but it has made it difficult to even be seen. Hence asking the internal med doc for a letter. Probably a better chance getting one from him because we'll see him in a week, long before I could get an appointment with our GP and ideally, I'd like her to have had the booster prior to surgery.
