Wow, saw this on the news. 180 drugs are on the shortage list including chemo. Can you imagine going in for your scheduled appointment and being told.."Sorry, we ran out"? Like it's not bad enough how many people are without healthcare coverage, now even if you are covered you may not be able to get treatment.

That is sad. There are a lot of sad things going on these days. Rather depressing all of it. We must chug on and hope for the best!

That is terrible. I do not know what it is all coming to anymore. It just keeps getting worse daily.

That sounds absurd. I will definitely be irritated and angry if I were those patients. At least they take it their responsibility to tell their patients beforehand. Doctors have secretaries and it is important that they should inform their clients. That is very unethical. And why have the supplies gone? Can't they make sure it is there since it is crucial for the patients?
