Shortages Force Changes in Hospital Procedures

Anytime you head to the hospital, it's pretty much a given that what you need medicinally - they'll have...
At least that's how it "used" to work.

Rick Jackson is a senior host and producer at Ideastream Public Media. He hosts the "Sound of Ideas" on WKSU and "NewsDepth" on WVIZ.
