How did she “take medication” if sh didn’t pick up the prescription? Or did she wait until payday to pick up the prescription?
Article says she "took medication" - not "took the prescription medication." So she was probably swallowing aspirin, etc. - but allegedly didn't have enough money to purchase the high-powered perscription medication that, presumably, would have saved her.
Reading comprehension, sheesh!
Regards,
“decided to forgo the prescription and self-medicated...” would be more accurate.
Or “delayed picking up the prescription and took it too late to be effective”
All is conjecture
Another article about this case quoted her husband as saying she was frugal on principle and wouldn’t buy the tamiflu. He said he ended up buying it and making her take it.
