N.H. Hospitals Sound Alarm Over Supply Shortages Tied To Hurricane Maria
To appreciate the severity of the backlog facing New Hampshire hospitals right now, consider that John Eddy, the pharmacy manager at Weeks Medical Center in Lancaster, recently underwent his own surgical procedure and came back with this story.
“You know, they knock you out before you go in, and all the way down the hallway all I talked about was the drug shortage. [The doctors] got quite a kick out of that,” Eddy said. “It’s weighing heavily on me.”
At Weeks and other hospitals across the state, pharmacy managers like Eddy have spent the last three months scrambling to deal with an unexpected fallout from the September storm that knocked out power to Puerto Rico: a backlog in the supplies they need to perform all kinds of routine medical procedures, from IV drips to surgeries.
As FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb testified to Congress in October, Puerto Rico plays a critical role in the whole country’s supply of medical products.
“We are monitoring closely a list of about 30 products that are critical and either manufactured solely or primarily in Puerto Rico,” Gottlieb said at the time. “Of those 30 products, 14 are sole-source products, meaning there are no alternative drug products available.”

Dems need to hold a binding statehood referendum if they win in 2020 because this is just disgusting. These people are US citizens living in what will likely be the 51st US state in the next 10-20 years and they are being utterly abandoned and left to die with no power, no water, and no medical care.Children are living in this.
