Drug Shortages, another Canary Keels over....Pay attention....

[jsbhike]

I'm sure the ever expanding substance recovery population is probably putting large demands on certain inventories.

And while I love Chic Fil A sandwiches, it doesn't even come close to Popeyes Chicken and biscuits (when employees are actually making it correctly and it's fresh).

Makes me wonder. Chik Fil A is really good AND seems to be very consistent based on 3 or 4 different restaurants in widely different areas over several years time. We are about to get one locally so I am hoping.

Only experienced 2 Popeyes, one 15 years ago, the other back in April. Our local Popeyes was awesome, but I doubt it stayed open 5 years along with claims of bring less than sanitary. The one I stopped in on the way to KCR n April sucked. Dried out chicken and I am pretty sure lacking in food safety too.

The only Popeyes I ate at was dogshit. Never again.

Many people just don't understand that there are many deaths in this country every year because the medications needed are NOT AVAILABLE. Notice I did not say, "patients can't afford them" or "Insurance won't approve them" etc....THE MEDICATIONS DON'T EXIST in the system- they are not being produced. It has become such an issue that there is actually an organization that tracks the availability of meds......

Not just drugs....shortage of surgical devices are likewise commonplace. Everything from surgical staplers to suture to bioprosthetic mesh to something as simple (and cheap) as methylene blue dye.

If you think there are shortages now wait until the ComDems are in power and abolish private health insurance and legislate mandatory price caps on medicine and procedures.

Simple drugs aren’t available for multiple reasons. One reason is that many generics don’t yield sufficient profit to make the juice worth the squeeze for the manufacturer. Another more recent phenomenon is due to supply chain issues with the hurricane that hit Puerto Rico a few years ago. Many pharma companies manufacture in PR due to tax incentives. We are still seeing downstream effects from that hurricane in shortages of certain common meds.

My only trip to the hospital with my daughter they were magically out of numbing cream. She needed 3 staples they claimed, it would be bam, bam bam and done. They jammed the staple gun after the first one... Nothing was quick about the process. She was not a happy camper getting those 3 staples to the scalp. I just thought it was our dumb luck, guess that's the norm after reading this...

I'm very thankful we don't depend on medicine to live, that was the worst part of the 1 Second After books.

And Chick-Fil-A for the win! Jesus chicken is better than anything else.

When it comes to consistency, Chic Fil A is hands down the absolute winner. They don't tolerate McEmployees or a crap attitude. More to the point, eating AT Chic Fil A is actually a pleasurable dining experience, more so than some actual restaurant chains such as Outback where experience is hit or miss from terrible to pretty good, which is unacceptable given how much those steaks cost these days.

Every time a Chic Fil A employee comes by my table and offers to refill my beverage or clear my mess for me, I'm always, always caught off guard and damn that is refreshing.

Popeyes works ONLY when all the planets line up and local patronage DEMANDS high grade, fried chicken, management highers quality employees who can hold the standard and keep the damn place clean and everyone else involved gives a damn at least enough to make it work.

Had a friend who lived next to the best one I'd ever been to, cashier, servers and managers were polite to EVERYONE. Like you are in South Carolina polite. Food was spectacular and everything was clean.

That said, when Popeyes is bad....it's every bit as bad as a KFC sharing space with a Taco Bell. So easy to screw up a good thing. I only wish Chic Fil A had actual fried chicken with a bit of spice and biscuits, that would be glorious.

I love Chik fil a spicy deluxe sandwich.

I also love Popeyes as stated above when it is done right. The quality does vary wildly. We had two of them on base that were great. The dozen others I have been to are hit and miss. One thing for sure, it cannot be cold or have sat for awhile. It's gotta be right out of the fryer.

Oh yeah... no shortage of drugs coming from Mexico, Turkey or China!

Those aren't the drugs we need.
