MUN Med Thread -- Ep. 16 -- Sorry, it's on backorder!

In this episode, our hosts are joined by Sarah Winsor, a pharmacy resident from Memorial University of Newfoundland, to chat about drug shortages. Tune in as we discuss why medication shortages are daily occurrences in pharmacies and what we can do to help.

The Med Thread: From opium poppies to sleeping pills, from sucking to infusing, from insomnia, anemia, auto immune diseases and beyond - we discuss the threads that led to current trends and research in medication therapy. Listen to The Med Thread monthly, as we sew a patchwork quilt with squares of history, mythology, research, sciences and technological advances. The show is produced at CHMR studios in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador by Mike Chong and Dr. Cathy Balsom of the School of Pharmacy's Medication Therapy Services (MTS) Clinic at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
