Stricter FDA rules leave hospitals scrambling

[DreamSmoker]

Hospitals across the country are running low on key drugs used in surgeries and to treat some diseases, including cancer.

There are about 150 drugs - triple the number from just five years ago - that are in short supply, according to the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, a trade group that works with hospital pharmacists on ways to deal with the shortage.

And just guess who is responsible???

1. Dam those regulations!

They should deregulate the drug industry the way they deregulated the finical and housing industry.

It worked so well!!

Let's not use THAT as a headline. No, put the good news at the very end of the piece.
