Vermont's Pharmacist Shortage
Vermont is
home to more than 260 pharmacists, but that's not enough to staff the state's 145
different retail pharmacy outlets. The
Rite Aid in Randolph has been
closing sporadically during the past several months because of the shortage,
and other pharmacies are also scaling back their hours. We look at the reasons behind the shortage,
and how a new pharmacy school in Chittenden county may help alleviate the
problem.
Also, we talk with Vermont clinical psychologist Martha Straus, who looks at the problems facing adolescent girls in her new book: Adolescent Girls in Crisis.
And, commentator Peter Gilbert reflects on how lost and undelivered letters can spark the imagination, and remind him of monumental works in literature.
