TL:DR
Okay, so, a pharmacy in Comox just had a major oopsie. They accidentally gave a 9-year-old's mom some heavy-duty opioids instead of their kid's ADHD meds. Parents dodged a major bullet, but now they're out here warning everyone to peep those labels. Pharmacy is doing some soul-searching after the L.
The Tea
Fam, listen up 'cause this is wild. This mom in Comox, Sarah Paquin, was tryna pick up her 9-year-old's ADHD meds (dextroamphetamine) from Shoppers, right? But the pharmacy was straight-up trippin' and handed her hydromorphone (Dilaudid) – an opioid. Like, imagine the chaos if her kid popped those thinking it was their usual stuff. 🤯
Luckily, the dad caught the sus vibe 'fore the kid took 'em. Turns out the pills looked different and had another person's name slapped on the bottle. Major red flag! The mom was like, "This could've been a whole disaster, no cap." She posted the whole sitch on Facebook and now everyone's losing it.
The pharmacy was all, "My bad!" They refunded the cash, but couldn't even find the real meds, so they had to re-order the prescription. The owner hit up the parents to say sorry and swear they're on it. Turns out that employee who messed up got suspended pending an internal investigation.
Sarah ain't playing tho. She snitched to the College of Pharmacists of B.C. with a formal complaint. Loblaw (the big boss of Shoppers) is saying it was just "human error" and they're gonna "review controls" to make sure this don't happen again. But honestly, this is a major L for pharmacy safety, and parents are def gonna be double-checking everything from now on.
Also, word on the street is that this ain't the first time this particular pharmacy employee has fumbled the bag. 👀
