Pharmacist overdosed my 9yr old son with over 3x's the amount

Health & Medicine

My name is Mollie Vega, mother of Raul Vega (9 yrs. Old), who was overdosed by their Pharmacist "Joe". Raul was recently diagnosed with Dermatomyositis (MDA) and was started on auto-immune therapy drug treatment.

He immediately complained of "bad" stomach pain, intense headaches, etc. I notified Neurologist; was told to watch him. Next morning he awoke with bruises on his forehead and top of his foot. Doctor told us to come in; after an examination, we found the Dr. Had prescribed him 37.5 mg of Imuran. Pharmacist had given us 50 mg. @ 3x's a day. He was taking three times more than required. His bone marrow when through "shock".

Immediately a representative (Bonnie Lowe) from Claim's Management, Inc., contacted me to take my report even though I hadn't asked for such a thing. The representative would not grant us doctor visits and testing to ensure his health was not jeopardized in any way. She offered $5,000.00 so they can wipe their hands clean of their mistake. This went on for about 7 months, I asked to speak with a supervisor (Linda Henderson). I was upset and explained why, she told me that if I had asked for her sooner she would have granted the testing. (We had no insurance throughout this ordeal.) She has since offered $6,000.00 with our family not know how it affected him, we won't know for years down the road we're told. How can they do this to a child? Wal-Mart claims to be family-oriented but everyone needs to know the truth.

I am pleading for help with them.

Sincerely
