(Good Guy) Australian pharmacy ignores legal challenge over diabetes sensors
TL;DR
An Australian pharmacy will continue to send lower-cost diabetes equipment across the Tasman, despite a cease and desist from a medical manufacturer.

“This is $130 that my whānau, and many other whānau, could have in their pocket each month,” she told them.
...
manufacturer Medtronic had sent David Jones Pharmacy a letter threatening legal action if the company continued to supply Kiwi customers with the sensors.

The pharmacy was “not a legally authorised distributor of Medtronic diabetes products in New Zealand”
...
“We have chosen to ignore [the letter] as it was built upon unsubstantiated accusations,” Le said.

“It creates a massive inequity for families who don’t have the financial means to pay a weekly amount, and it’s also a contributing risk to longer term health outcomes.
“It's really expensive to keep them alive. By not funding [sensors] you are risking the lives of kids who don't have that layer of privilege.”
I fucking hate this bullshit. Hong Le is a hero.
