Spotted this earlier on in the week whilst I enjoyed the delights of Slough for three days. For some reason all I could think was "does this mean they have a drug problem here?" I wonder if the really ill people refuse to go there because they don't have anything for them!Obviously you need to click the image for the bigger version.

Phil, though you might be potentially interested in this website: http://www.mepwatch.co.uk/
That's a lie. They stock paracetemol. Presumably it is to deter burglary when the place is closed? or some smart-arse artist project?
Well duh!..... Burglary by whom Chris? Think about it for a second. What sort of person is that sign designed to deter?
there was more than one incidentally
I guess if the patients can walk in, they shouldn't need much more than aspirin, but why waste the NHS's time when they should buy it at the supermarket...
What would be funny would be to see this sign on a pharmacist's premises, or a bank sign stating no cash held on these premises. An amourey sign stating only blanks held on site!
CP: is paracetemol stronger than aspirin? In a fight to the death between the two: they give aspirin to heart patients as well as folk with sore heads, so it rules the world.
I suspect these signs are up around the more vulnerable parts of the hostpital for the purposes of detering attacks. It is entirely possible that the drugs are stored in more secure parts of the hospital.
In my experience Doctors also tend to give out prescriptions for collecting drugs from a pharmacist rather than hand over the pills themselves.
As for the motivation behind attacks, well, I've been given to understand that there is a certain resale value in even the most benign of prescription medications. A heist that garnered nothing but asparin would be a embarassment all round, so best avoided eh?
And incidentally, Ibuprophen for the win.
I guess they want patients to be able to walk-out of the walk-in clinic too.
However, I would hope they keep painkillers that actually work in their clinic and offer doctors instead of quacky nurses. Then again, the sign does not inspire confidence...
