Lisa Trumble, a patient in Massachusetts, was told by CVS that they would no longer provide the IV nutrition she needs to survive at home. This decision impacted 25,000 patients in the U.S. who rely on parenteral nutrition. The situation was worsened by a hurricane that affected the production of essential fluids. With a lack of suppliers, patients like Trumble were left in limbo. The FDA is working to address the shortage, but the impact on patients who require IV nutrition is severe. The closure of CVS’s Coram division has created a crisis for those who depend on these services.
