Poor patient.
Genetic based medication is amazing, and could be a lifesaver in 99.9% of the treatment, but that one patient did not have the genetics that could tolerate the medication, so it has to be put on hold until they can find out what caused that reaction and see if they need to test for that genetic condition before they continue with the treatment.
