Yesterday I went and visited my doctor. During the visit I asked him to refill one of my prescriptions and then went off to have some tests. When I came back he mentioned that the pharmacist yelled at him for prescribing me some more meds. When I asked him why he said that they were in short supply and hard to get. WTF He said that the company that supplied generic forms of the drug had stopped producing it and that left the original supplier in the driver's seat. The cost of the medicine has gone up dramatically and the supply has dwindled. Okay now fast forward to a time when the SHTF then what? You need to plan in advance to make sure that you have proper stocks to protect yourself. It was a rude awakening for me.....
