I'm sure you're all aware of the various drugs that we use, that are in short supply.

We're out of versed and now fentanyl!! A while back we were out of mag sulfate and calcium chloride!!

From what I've read, it is not because the drug companies are trying to jack up the prices, as one would expect . . . many causes . . . raw material shortages, quality issues and in some cases, the drug co's just don't want to produce the drug because it's not profitable.

Soon patients will have to bring their own supply of drugs, if they want to have surgery!

anyone got some lasix?
