Story 5:
I picked up my usual meds from the pharmacy one Friday. Saturday morning, I took one and immediately felt dizzy and nauseous. I checked the label — my name was on it, but the pills looked different. I looked them up online. They were for a heart condition I didn’t have. I called the pharmacy, and after a long hold, the pharmacist got serious fast. He told me to go to the ER and bring the bottle.
At the hospital, they told me if I’d taken one more, my heart rate could’ve dropped dangerously. Turned out, my meds had been switched with someone else’s by mistake. They offered me a gift card. I switched pharmacies.
