U.S. medical infrastructure collapsing as drug shortages in emergency rooms skyrocket by 400%

Thursday, January 28, 2016
‘Emergency rooms play a crucial role in the proper functioning of health care in the United States. During any given year, 45% of American people visit the ER, but a recent study published by the Academic Emergency Medicine journal suggests that not all of them can receive help. According to the study, between 2001 and 2014, drug shortages in ERs throughout the U.S. increased by a staggering 400%.

For some patients, this translated into prolonged duration of their diseases, permanent injury and even death. As the FDA struggles to resolve the issue, but unsurprisingly only makes matters worse, the actual cause of the spike in drug shortages remains neglected.’

How could this happen?
In February 2014, a report was published by the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) in order to determine what had gone wrong with the drug market. By interviewing FDA officials, as well as drug manufacturers and purchasers, GAO came up with four primary reasons for the spike in drug shortages. While discontinued production and regulatory processes were responsible for 6% and 3% of shortages, respectively, manufacturing problems accounted for 22% of shortages. Finally, a discrepancy between supply and demand resulted in a 12% shortage.

I think the reality is that fraudulent invoicing of supplies is endemic. The most likely cause is that the budget was distributed differently to what was expected.

or they just spent the money on a machine that goes ping.

yes, everything is compounding.

I burned 3 fingers with cooking oil 4 days ago, and I was hesitating to go to the emergency. Then looked up on the net for some treatments, and found out that as long as blisters ' size are less than 2 inches wide, you dont need to go to the ER. I was relieved, kinda. If I had gone to the ER, they would have charged me at least 250-300 bucks for band aids and some ointment, thats for sure, as I have no insurance.

Most of the people have medicare and/or medicaid where I live, so I can imagine how easy is to bilk the system. No wonder prices skyrocket.

Do not break the blisters (http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/ss/slideshow-blisters).
Clean the burn area with mild soap and water. Some of the burned skin might come off with washing. Pat the area dry with a clean cloth or gauze.
Put on an antibiotic ointment. Ointments such as Bacitracin (http://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-14270/bacitracin+topical/details) or Polysporin (http://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-15796/polysporin+topical/details) can be used each time you clean the burn. Do not put sprays or butter on burns, because this traps the heat inside the burn.

it is second degree burns and one finger had an almost 2 inch long and 3/4 inch wide and 3/4 inch high blister, looked really bad. The other fingers are okay but still not good looking.

I had ice cold water running on my fingers every 20 mins for at least 3 mins each time, it did help a lot although I didnt sleep that night

Potato.
works great on burns to remove the heat. Get a potato and slice it into reasonably thick slices. Put the sliced potato on the burn. Flip it over now and then to keep the cool sensation. Replace is as it starts to dry or when flipping it over provides no relief.

The heat sensation is what you want to stop ASAP because thats the indicator that your flesh is still burning.

I have not tried to shred the spud and try to pack it around a burn. Might work better but not so easy to move it around so different bits are touching the burn.
