Description

## Description

In `lib/features/transcription/data/gemini_service.dart`, the `generatePrescription()` method has an arbitrary `Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 3))` before making the API call:

```dart
Future generatePrescription(String transcription) async {
await Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 3)); // <-- WHY?
return await _chatbotService.getGeminiResponse(
"Generate a prescription based on the conversation in this transcription: $transcription",
);
}
```

This adds 3 seconds of unnecessary wait time for every prescription generation. The summary generation method does NOT have this delay, so it appears unintentional.

## Impact

- Users wait 3 extra seconds for every prescription
- On slow networks, combined with API latency, this makes the experience noticeably sluggish

## Expected Fix

Remove the `Future.delayed` call. If rate limiting was the intent, it should be handled properly with retry logic or documented.
