I will ask him that if the time between finding the new doctor goes longer if he can just submit an additional one, while I no longer live in the area. The good thing about Czech Republic is that you can go to any pharmacy in the country without any hassle (need for transfers). The "Erecepts" (translates to like "E-Recipes") go into a centralized system. Any pharmacy can access it by scanning the bar code that comes to your smart phone by text message. I really like this, especially since you know when the thing is available immediately. In the US, I had to call the pharmacy to ask if they got it from pdoc, and when it would be ready. Or wait for the annoying automated phone calls saying as much. I see this pdoc four days before our move, at the end of this month.

We have a similar solution at my place. Prescriptions are going right into an electronic system and my GP sends me an SMS when the prescription is being sent. After that I can go to whatever Farmacy I want to go to (even if I travel to another place inside the country).
Hope everything goes well with the moving!
