Better results going in face to face for appt

Only since becoming a prostate cancer patient this year that I have had experience of regular contact with doctors surgery. There seems to be a lot of info that you are 'expected' to know. For example surgeons prescribe 2 months of tablets. I have to phone/chase doctors to send instructions to chemist. I go to the chemist who tell me they don't hold that quantity, need to wait a couple of days. If I need the next months supply, I still have to order it. Areas requiring improvement. 1) Hard to get through on the phone. 2) Better results by going in for face to face appointments. 3) Wrong dose of tablets at pharmacy. 4) reminder to order next tablets a week before you need them.
