V8 stated it was a couple days later and it bothered her about giving the medications to V17, so she called V2 to confirm that V17 had brought the medications to her to waste. V8 stated it was at that time she found out that V17 and V2 had only wasted two bottles of liquid medications and that V17 did not give R2's medications/cards to V2.
