We should talk about the availability of basic medicine without doctor’s prescription. Basic painkillers, nose sprays, typical medicine for seasonal viral infections.

This is not available in Austria without prescription and I’ve had enough of this paternalistic bullshit attitude.

I don’t believe doctors want to clog up their waiting rooms with very simple cases of flu/covid infections.

I think one reason we still have this is without it doctors visits would be just about the paperwork.

This really is bs. I'm glad ours aren't like that. I can't live without painkillers and a nose spray some days... Like, that's basic stuff, why should you be forced to go to a doctor for it? Or interact with one at all? if their goal is to give people more reasons to go to the doctor, maybe they did it. Most stuff here doesn't require a prescription unless it's something very specific, antibiotic, or stuff that helps some mental conditions.

I’ve just created a new Django starter pack on FediDevs 👀

It collects non-human accounts only: Django projects, conferences, podcasts, news, and community initiatives.
No personal accounts, just things you may want to follow once and forget.

👉 fedidevs.com/s/Nzk4/

If you know other Django-related project accounts on the Fediverse, please reply and suggest them.
Happy to keep improving this together 💚

Please reboot 🙏
