Pain Medication

The reasons certain meds are in short supply are often linked to the fact that many medicines are made overseas and repercussions of Covid are still being felt everywhere throughout the world
Things are really getting stupid, there is no God Damn reason why people should have to be without their meds, what the hell is wrong with this country. Besides the obvious.
My wife gets a Cat scan with contrast every three to four months for a cancer related growth. Some months back we were informed the contrast she has to drink was in short supply and her scan would be pushed back as the hospital was saving what little contrast they had for emergencies
Now I was annoyed and grew more annoyed when I discovered the contrast is not produced in America, its only made by two company's one of which is ? You guessed it, China
These types of practices have been going on many years now, nothing new here
