viva, i'm beginning to realize how stupid you really are!
That was a lie your ex wife told you when she couldn't remove that sore on her lower lip.
Trust me I was there. I gave my ex wife a bottle of antibiotics to help slow down that wonder bread machine she had between her legs, and she told me the same lie how she is not allowed to take any antibiotics during pregnancy.
But I didn't give a that baby was not mine in the first place.
not only was I having to eat Mrs. Bird three times a week someone already chew all the crust.
must I paint you a picture?
The bottom line this lady was a victim of the pharmaceutical corporation and those rich asstaint's need to pay.
says the guy that posts as a cow.
Along with the rest of the country, I was shocked earlier this week to report the news of Mareena Silva, the pregnant Colorado woman who was mistakenly given an abortion pill instead of an antibiotic at a Safeway pharmacy. Mareena and her doctors still do not know if she will carry a healthy baby to term, if the baby will suffer birth defects or if the baby was not compromised.
While most readers weighed in with well wishes and horror over the incident, one reader commented to tell me how a pharmacy nearly killed her dog, Sharkey. It was also a Safeway pharmacy.
Susan Stoltz, sister to movie actor Eric Stoltz, had a prescription filled for her beloved Jack Russell Terrier who suffered from severe allergies. She went home and gave her pooch one pill. Sharkey soon collapsed on the floor and had to be rushed to the animal emergency clinic, where Stoltz learned that each pill contained 10x the amount of medication prescribed by the vet.
What’s possibly as equally disturbing as the error itself is the fact that the Safeway pharmacy has not even offered Stoltz an apology. After first denying that any mistake occurred, the pharmacist eventually acknowledged the error, and then rudely blurted out, “The dog is alive today isn’t she, so it hardly matters.”
Stoltz says, “Safeway ‘investigated’ that too and I was told that they weren’t responsible and wouldn’t pay any damages. The pharmacist didn’t even get a slap on the wrist from the pharmaceutical board even though I reported it.”
While the vet was able to save Sharkey, she endures severe liver damage. She also still suffers from allergies and can no longer take antihistamines due to the overdose and subsequent liver damage. Stoltz tries to manage her condition with topical solutions but occasionally has to put her on a round of steroids.
This pharmacist was reported to the proper authorities, but to no avail. The current laws treat pets as possessions and property, with the same rights as a pair of shoes, and offer little recourse for pets who are victims of medical malpractice.
Stoltz has turned Sharkey’s horrendous story into a positive and created a website chronicling the dog’s tale of being overdosed and dismissed. She also has written a children’s book series with Sharkey as the star.
For each book in the series an organization benefiting animals is chosen to receive a large percentage of all net profits. This decision was made after Sharkey’s overdose by a pharmacist and the realization that the very best thing Sharkey and Susan can do, rather than fight big business and insurance companies, is to be a positive influence and try to help other animals in need.
Watch Sharkey’s story below which is narrated by Eric Stoltz:
There's even a Facebook page

I'm sorry for the dog and the owner, but I find this oddly hilarious.
Now if she'd gotten a bottle with her name, info, prescription information, warnings, etc., and the pills in the bottle weren't what were on the label, that is 100% the pharmacist's fault. This is not the case.
The pharmacy ed up by giving this woman the wrong meds. Definitely. But the woman could have avoided the whole scenario by reading the damn label and making sure she was taking the right drug. In the end, it is your responsibility to know what you're putting into your own body.
Every prescription medication I've ever taken, I've known what it was, dosage, when and how to take it, possible side effects, whether or not to eat something with it, whether or not I should drive while on it, etc., because I read my scrip labels and ask my doctor and pharmacist any questions I have, no matter how silly or possibly trivial. It's just common god damn sense. Something modern people are obviously lacking in spades.
The pharmacist is the last line of defense against a medication error. If the wrong medication was dispensed/taken or prescribed, it's their fault. Any pharmacist will tell you the same thing. He didn't do his due diligence and he'll most likely have his license suspended. It's been my experience that a lot of people don't know what they're taking, why they're taking it, or what condition they have. Physicians communicate the bare minimum and so do pharmacist a lot of the time. It's not the patients responsibility to find out for themselves. Someone has to tell them. People don't get to keep their prescriptions. I'm sure she was under the assumption that Methotrexate was an antibiotic, a therapeutic equivalent, a generic form of the prescription etc. The good thing is that they're changing federal law, and all future patients have be counseled on the correct usage of their medication (meaning you can't sign off to not be counseled) to prevent things like this from happening.

Lol not reading the article
found an interesting comment about this story
“I heard this story when it first came out and have been trying to get in touch with anyone that could pass along some valuable informatioLuck_The_Fakers_n to Mareena Silva. I take methotrexaLuck_The_Fakers_te for RA (not cancer) and have used this drug for more than 20 years. I am also on other category (X) drugs along with NSAIDs for RA and an IV treatment (Remicade)Luck_The_Fakers_. Absolutely no one has mentioned that this girl needed to do a round of CholestyraLuck_The_Fakers_mine (sp?) to completely flush her system. I became pregnant twice on these drugs and both of my children are healthy and just fine! I was told to terminate one of my pregnancieLuck_The_Fakers_s, but I could not and can't imagine life without my children today! Back in 1990 when I was pregnant with my first child, I was able to stay on NSAIDs, but today it's a no-no causing heart defects. My first child is perfectly healthy as well. All I want is for Mareena to know that her child is going to be fine. If she only took one dose (1 pill), it shouldn't cause major problems. She should have an ultrasound immediatelLuck_The_Fakers_y and regularly for the remainder of the pregnancy. God bless.”
