PHARMACY to the rescue.
UK pharmacy giant Boots aided
in the rescue of an Italian couple
who got stranded by the tide
along the coast in Devon, England.
The couple, who were walking
their dog, got stranded by the
incoming tide and could not think
of the UK’s emergency services
phone number.
A quick search of their pockets
revealed a receipt from a Boots
pharmacy in Minehead which
they had visited.
The duo then dialled the number
on the receipt, and despite not
speaking much English, were able
to convey their predicament.
The pharmacy staff member
who answered the phone was
then able to call emergency
services, who in turn quickly
located the couple and airlifted
them and their dog to safety.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 18 Jun 12 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 18 Jun 12
