Tamra Olsen-Ivie was a full-time nurse supporting two children when she suffered a debilitating brain injury after a mix-up in a prescription she filled at a Kmart pharmacy, according to her attorney.
Instead of the mild muscle relaxer she expected, she was handed a heavy-duty opioid that damaged her brain and left her incapacitated and unable to work.
Now, because of the way insurance works and through her own confusion, the 53-year-old single mother faces court action for unpaid medical bills owed to Intermountain Medical Center despite her attorneys’ pleas for patience until her anticipated settlement with Kmart is paid.
