The father of a CVS pharmacist who died after suffering a heart attack at work in 2021 says the industry is not doing enough to change conditions that he says are putting workers and customers' "lives at risk." Larry Anderson told FOX Business that a CVS memo sent to staff last week acknowledging the USA Today report that exposed his daughter's death was "corporate garbage" and nothing but "damage control.
At one point, Larry Anderson recalled his daughter expressing a similar concern. She told him she was worried that either her or one of her coworkers would fill out the wrong prescription. "When you are that tired, and you're that short-handed, and you're that far behind, that is a recipe for disaster," Larry Anderson said. Since his daughter's death, Larry Anderson argued that not much has changed despite the industry claiming it is making improvements.
