Understaffing, Unionization, & a Questionable Carton of Eggnog

Understaffing, Unionization, & a Questionable Carton of Eggnog

Thanks to the vertical integration of U.S. healthcare, the greed-based practices of PBMs and their health insurance parent corporations negatively affect everything from chain staffing, to patient access and safety at all levels of pharmacy.

Listen in as our December cocktail crew takes a deep dive into the issues. From theoretical staffing shortages and pharmacy scope of practice, to addressing safety problems in retail pharmacy, and impending unionization - no subject is taboo during this breakdown!   

With Special Guests: Shane Jerominski (The Accidental Pharmacist), & Maurice Shaw (Rx Comedy)
