No chicken, no joy?/Dr. Dilemma

Then news spread that there was a “chicken shortage” in Metro Manila? A lot of kids nearly suffered withdrawal symptoms that Christmas not so long ago.

It would be good for local farmers, or so they think, but the question is, do we have enough reliable supply of soybean and corn since these are subject to cyclical challenges in production? Is the overall quality of the soybean and corn stable and consistent enough not to disrupt production processes for feed mills and livestock producers? Corn and soybean are the key ingredients for feeds and many other products, and disruptions cause shortages and price increases.

Such a situation destabilizes the predictability of supply or availability of corn and soybean. Beyond potential price wars and initial shortages, producers lose whatever backup plan is available and this effectively torpedoes any plans for expansion or creation of more production plants for feeds and farms for livestock.

What caught my attention was the fact that they all prescribed a minimum of 100 pieces, up to 200-plus per medicine, consumable in three to four months. Why so much? Here are some of them: #100 Kenzar #120 Provasc #240 TMZ #120 Ecospirin #120 Teldra #120 Cardipress #120 Coumadin etc. etc. But the problem is apparently not limited to the PHC but has “infected” other government and private hospital physicians in Metro Manila as well as nationwide. In the meantime, doctors with integrity are furious about the state of affairs!
