Curing sore eyes with a plastic card, rather than a prescription.
Sarah has conjunctivitis.
She calls the doctor’s surgery.
They ask for her CPR number (citizen’s number).
Then they ask what’s wrong with her - they now know who Sarah is and where she lives.
Then they tell her to go to the local pharmacy at 1pm where the eye drops will be ready.
It’s at a time like this that you realise all the hassle of getting the CPR was worth it.
