An incident in Cape Cod recently highlights the need to verify that the medications dispensed by your pharmacy are actually correct. 
 
Luckily, the patient, a former nurse, noticed that the medications delivered to her by CVS Pharmacy were meant for someone else and did not take them.

This particular incident is under investigation.
