Why I choose not to purchase medicines online

Tweet

So my neighbor needed some medicines yesterday, and they were not available anywhere. Over the years, I have developed a kinda rapport with two medical stores. They generally have most of the medicines that we use. If they don't have them, they organize procurement, taking a couple of days more. But ultimately, I get those medicines. They greet me, I greet them back. Recently, one of the guys even volunteered to take me and/or my father to the hospitals should the need arise. Now, that is a huge offer because when a person is sick, mind takes leave because of preoccupation with documents, and worry. Driving on road can be dangerous, at such times. Especially in India. With online purchases, it is not possible to develop such rapport because the delivery boy is not the same all the time. Just to tell you...personal relationships matter...
