On the latest 'Last Week Tonight' (LastWeekTonight), John Oliver's (iamjohnoliver) talk about fraud and negligence in compound pharmacies features the occasional parrot:
tackled the issue of compounding pharmacies. The segment starts out with a clip from a 1940s pharmacy in grainy black and white, back when every prescription was “eyeballed” by “near-sighted pharmacists,” as Oliver points out. Surely things are much more regulated and accurate now, right? Wrong, we find out as Oliver continues.
Yet delve a little deeper and compounding pharmacies have glaring problems that Oliver highlights with humor, but the bitter truth is that the regulation and maintenance of these pharmacies has not been taken seriously at all. Compounding pharmacies don’t face the same scrutiny that large pill manufacturers do, and there simply aren’t enough inspectors per state to keep track of conditions in all of them.
