I have never had a prescription come in a box. They're always in a plastic bottle with the annoying childsafe lid.

Anyway... this is kinda everyone's fault. The pharmacist should have checked more carefully, but they're human and you really should be taking responsibility for what you put into your body. They give out probably hundreds of prescriptions every day, you only have been picking up one. You should really check. Personally I take prescription medication every day for my anxiety disorder and I ALWAYS check the bottle first. That woman was lucky it wasn't something that could have seriously hurt her. The fact that you never really hear about bottles getting mixed up and the odds of a pregnant woman getting an abortion pill by accident indicates that mix ups at pharmacies probably happens a lot more often than you'd like to think, but it isn't reported.
