Medicine for mom

Hello I need help
My mom and dad are in a resort in south of France and she left her medicine on a bus!!! Unfortunately they are American and our dr said he could not call in her medication.
She is close to Perignon( please excuse spelling)

Thanks

Can't they ask the people at the place they're staying?

Here is info regarding English speaking doctors in Perpignan from a local ex-pat website

Dr Hugo Hossenbaccus 17 Quai Vauban, Perpignan +33 4 68 51 60 33

Dr Olivier Lambert in Villalong. 04 68 63 27 60.

Your mother should also try going to a pharmacy as pharmacists in France can prescribe certain medications - perhaps hers is one of them.

I had forgotten one of my meds at home and only realized it on arrival in Paris last year. I called my daughter and asked her to call my doctor's office to request a faxed RX to my hotel. She did, he did, and the following day I walked over to a nearby pharmacy in Montparnesse where the medication was readily available. I did miss two days of it but since it wasn't life threatening, it worked out fine. Phew!

Let us know how your mom does.

Where are they staying? It's Sunday today, if your mother needs a doctor she should dial 15 to get in touch with a doctor on duty. The nearst hospital is Hospital St Jean in Perpignan (on the old road to Narbonne). If it is an emergency you can contact me at Pvoyageusedotaol.com, I live in Perpignan and I'll give you my phone number.
