Supply problems with medicines are currently making life difficult for patients in Austria. Christine Ferch, 66, is a chronic pain patient. She reports on how people who urgently need their medication are doing.
“I’m afraid to go to the pharmacy,” says Ms. Ferch. The patient is relieved when the pharmacist spreads out all the prescribed medicines for her on the tara, the sales counter. Because going to the pharmacy has long been associated with tension: “What do you have for me, what not?” The 66-year-old needs nine medications a day – four of them for her severe pain – to “get through” “get the day right”. In the back of my mind is always the fear that preparations cannot be delivered.
