This is sheer stupidity.

I have read a news story about a woman who is stranded in Bali along with thousands of others. This woman is complaining to the media about VA not being helpful about her need to replenish her essential medication. I find it almost incomprehensible to understand that when such medicines are vital to her health that she only took enough with her for her holiday + one day spare. How utterly stupid is that , to go on an overseas trip with virtually no reserves whatever and then to start to complain because VA staff told her to go to a Chemist . Where on earth else could they suggest she go to get medication!!!
It beggars belief that such people have the hide to try to blame others for their own complete lack of foresight for un foreseen delays. Sure , there may be grounds for complaint re advice from Airlines regarding delayed or cancelled flights but there would not appear to be any grounds for complaining about her medications .
It's all her fault for lack of adequate planning.
Nobody in their right mind would take such few reserves of medication ....
Perhaps this last statement explains it all. !!!
