How to Read a Press Release and Drug Shortage Help

But my idea for today is how to read a press release.

These are, you know, they've kind of always been, you know, a thing in oncology.

But with social media these days, they spread a lot further.

And these are, I think, really designed for the biotech investors, some of whom actually listen to this podcast.

Buy, sell, for that kind of stuff, I guess.

So, you know...

This comes out a lot, and it's kind of meant to say, hey, we have a drug.

We have great results.

It's going to be awesome.

You've got to let the shareholders know, I guess, what's going on with the company they partially own as stockholders.

But as clinicians, there can be useful information to this for patients.

We want to do what's best for our patients.

This gives an idea of what is coming down the pipeline.

You know, when I started my career, if you wanted to use, you know, a new drug came out, you just wrote the orders.

Nowadays, you have to, you know, you have to have the treatment plan built and the electronic health record.

Everyone needs to kind of be aware of it.

It needs to be built.

It's a little bit more cumbersome now just to start a new treatment plan for somebody.

And so this can help us maybe start to prepare for some of this.

So I've got two press releases I'm gonna go through today and then maybe a helpful tip if you have been dealing with drug shortages like you have.
