I would say that patients shooting up their own heroin in the ER was a sign of the end, but that’s positively ‘de riguere’ these days. I mean, every ER has seen this; or methamphetamine, or fentanyl or something else illicit used in a patient room.
You maybe over thinking these problems of supply. It required years of hard work to get “just in time” delivery at low cost to be efficient. This system has been disrupted by a pandemic, economic disruptions, and war. It will require 3-5 years to optimize a new system of worldwide production and delivery of supplies with some safeguards. Thus, it is best to adjust to the new reality and plan for disruptions to occur frequently and to have a backup plan if possible.
I’m speechless or better yet wordless. Not about the article. 😉
