Shortages from Puerto Rico loom large…

I really enjoy following the NFL and follow many people on Twitter trying to stay up to date. Chris Mortensen is one of the best analysts and is in the fight of life with cancer. It made me sad to see his tweet a couple days ago.

I hope everybody can just slow down every so often and remember this is not just about sales, units, savings, utilization and conversions. It is about healing too…

In last week’s edition of NAW we discussed product shortages as a result of hurricane damage to Puerto Rico and here is just one example of it impacting a patient.
