Just need to rant quickly here. [View all]

My mother contracted Hepatitis C from a blood transfusion back in the 1980's. She has acute liver damage, but has been managing it.

A while back she had a minor cardiac incident, and her doctors prescribed baby aspirin to help avoid another one.

Yesterday she got a letter from the pharmacy. It seems that due to a screw-up they've been giving her high doses of Tylenol instead of her baby aspirin.

Tylenol, even in normal doses, can be deadly to someone with liver damages. And they've been pumping her full of it like there's no tomorrow.

Sorry to interrupt the political bloodshed on here with something like this, but I just needed to rant to someone.
