“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S.

You Withheld Breath and Called It Policy.

I. A Pandemic. A Quarantine. A Pharmacy That Withheld the Cure.

This document records a formal complaint against Grace Bay Pharmacy, filed after staff:

  • Refused to dispense life-sustaining asthma medication

  • Demanded in-person contact during a government-enforced quarantine

  • Allegedly retaliated when their demand was declined — despite written prescription, vulnerability status, and documented respiratory illness

What followed was not confusion. It was clinical negligence, framed in customer service language.

They didn’t withhold antibiotics.
They withheld breath.

II. The Context They Pretended Not to Understand

  • The patient was shielding

  • The medication was for Eosinophilic Asthma

  • The request was prepaid, written, and lawful

  • The refusal occurred during a respiratory pandemic

Instead of care, the pharmacy demanded:

“Come inside.”

As if the laws of infection and the laws of pharmacology were optional.

III. Why SWANK Filed This

Because medication denial is not an inconvenience.
It is a form of procedural assault.

This complaint was submitted not for reconciliation, but for record.

It documents:

  • The refusal to deliver

  • The demand for unnecessary exposure

  • The pharmacist’s later attempt to minimise the incident as “confusion”

  • And the systemic lack of safeguarding for disabled, high-risk patients in crisis

IV. SWANK’s Position

We do not believe pharmacists are above pandemic protocol.
We do not tolerate the minimisation of medical risk.
We do not consider retail politeness an excuse for institutional harm.

Let the record show:

  • The medication was needed

  • The prescription was valid

  • The request was lawful

  • The refusal — was filed

This was not a misunderstanding.
It was COVID-era negligence wrapped in pharmacy branding.
