When I visted Gothenburg a few days ago, my 90 year old mother kindly asked me to fetch a few things from the nearest pharmacy. I had a 20 + 20 minutes walk and and had to make the queu. This morning I needed some headache pills (don't ask why). Within 200 meters, I found seven pharmacies. I took some photos to prove it. I don't tell you in which one I bought my pills.It must be profitable business to own a pharmacy in France. French people consume a lot of medecines even for small pains. Medecines are well refunded. Of course we pay for it somehow.

ReplyDeleteI know in which pharmacy you bought your pills (don't ask why).
ReplyDeleteWhy?
ReplyDeleteLagen säjer väl i Paris att det måste finnas apotek för var 10.000 :ende medborgare dvs ett apotek i varje gathörn.
ReplyDeleteIl y a pas mal de pharmacies à Fécamp aussi, pour à peine 20.000 habitants. Je devrais les compter un jour. A vue de nez : une petite dizaine.
ReplyDeleteYes, I believe that hogrelius' estimate of a pharmacy for 10000 habitants is over-(under-) estimated. I checked and there are some 23000 pharmacies = which brings us closer to one pharmacy for some 3-4000 habitants.
ReplyDeleteAutrefois les pharmaciens fabriquaient eux mêmes les pommades et remèdes, maintenant ce n'est que la même chose que chez l'épicier: prendre une boîte sur un rayon et la vendre...j'espère qu'il n'y a pas de pharmaciens dans les lecteurs de ton blog, car je vais me mettre cette profession à dos.
