Leaving kidney failure patient without medication for a week

My mother is a dialysis patient with kidney failure and has now been without five of her critical medications for over a week because Marara Pharmacy failed to deliver her medication on time. This is unfortunately not the first time this has happened.

She contacted the pharmacy again on Friday requesting urgent delivery, yet there has still been no resolution. These are not optional medications, they are life-sustaining treatments for a seriously ill patient whose condition requires urgent and consistent care.

The lack of urgency, accountability, and compassion shown in this matter is deeply concerning and completely unacceptable. Managing kidney failure and undergoing dialysis is already physically and emotionally exhausting without having to repeatedly chase and beg for essential medication.

I am requesting that someone urgently contact her today and ensure that her medication is delivered immediately. This situation has now reached a critical point and cannot continue happening. Bonita's patient.

You can call me again or you should actually call my mom on ***. I provided you with her ID number in the complaint surely you should be able to pick up her profile from there. Today is day 8 without medication how many more days will she need to wait while this goes back and worth.

What would have expected as a reply is your medication will arrive today we have sent it via special delivery. This is how the problem is resolved. As well as you assuring me that this will not happen again.
