Right so after a decade of scrubs, hospital corridors and lugging an X-ray machine round wards at 3am, you'd think I'd never want to see another chemist as long as I live mo moan to about my dodgy knee on a Sunday. This is the pharmacies and health shops round Manchester I actually trust when I'm not on shift and something's gone wrong with me. Proper mint when you just need someone to look at your ear and not send you to A&E for six hours. No fancy stuff, just the places that sort you out.
