I just read an article on cnn.com that said that a number of medications are currently in short supply. It's already led to 3 deaths in US hospitals. Here's the link to the article:

And here's the link to the actual list of medications that are in short supply:

Scary! I see some familiar drug names on that list, including Cipro. That's not good, how can they possibly run low on such vital meds? I mean, this is kind of frightening!
