PATHETIC!!!

PATHETIC!!!

I am extremely concerned and disappointed with the handling of my mother’s medication.

The script was sent on May 9, 2025 at 3:03 PM (***, script [MI***]), yet I’ve been informed it was only sent to the pharmacy today, August 12. This delay is unacceptable, especially considering this is for my elderly mother, whose health depends on timely access to her medication.

Despite assurances of a 24–48 hour turnaround, the medication is still not processed, and I’m now being told to expect another 24–48 hour delay. With delivery to KZN, this means she may only receive it by Friday or Monday — a serious risk to her well-being.

This level of service is unacceptable and negligent. I demand that the medication be processed and dispatched immediately TODAY
