Man sues Pendleton Rite Aid over delayed prescription
By ANTONIO SIERRA
East Oregonian
PENDLETON — A
lawsuit fi led Feb. 9 in Umatilla
County Circuit Court alleges
a late prescription from a
Pendleton pharmacy caused
a man’s hospitalization.
Richard Morris of Pend-
leton is suing Rite Aid for
$5 million for noneconomic
damages plus an unspecifi ed
sum for economic damages
“according to proof at trial”
in addition to attorney fees,
according to the complaint.
La Grande attorney Wade
Bettis filed the pleading,
which claims Morris was
prescribed Brilinta, a blood
thinner, by a doctor at Prov-
idence St. Mary Medical
Center in Walla Walla on
April 22, 2021, two days after
he had stents installed follow-
ing a heart attack.
The prescription was sent
to the Rite Aid in Pendleton,
the lawsuit states, and Morris
arrived that afternoon to pick
up the drug. According to
Morris, pharmacy staff told
him they would need another
hour to fi ll the prescription.
He returned nearly two hours
later, but staff told him the
medication was unavailable
and he would need to return
the next day.
The complaint states that
Morris returned to the phar-
macy again on the morning
of April 23, but staff told him
the prescription still was not
ready because, although the
pharmacy had received a
shipment of the medication,
it was in its box. Morris ulti-
mately received his Brilinta
prescription later that day, at
4:16 p.m. By that time, he had
missed three doses.
The lawsuit states Morris
spent the following two
days experiencing “a lack
of energy” and small pains
PLEASE RECYCLE THIS PAPER
in his chest. On April 26,
he awoke to “severe pain in
his chest and arm” before
he was taken to St. Anthony
Hospital, Pendleton, and then
back to Providence St. Mary.
Morris went under the knife
again to address blood clots
that formed around his stents,
a development his doctor
attributed to the missed blood
thinner doses.
“Had plaintiff received
his medication in a timely
manner,” the lawsuit states,
“plaintiff would not have
suff ered a second heart attack
less than a week after his fi rst
heart attack.”
