Welcome to Litsy!

The first third of this book (science) was captivating, the middle third was really hard for me to get into (the politics of creating and passing bills in the US govt) and the final third was very interesting (court case).
This book delves into the US pharmaceutical medical compounding business and its surprising lack of safety checks. It is scary how many people have died due to contaminated medications.

I could not put this book down once I started reading it. Took me a little less than 3 days and only because work and kids interrupted my reading time lol. Very interesting and scary to read how immoral some people can be. As a nurse I put a lot of trust in medicine and to think there are those who could abuse that trust make me physically ill. Definitely recommend this book to all.

On to my next book!!! This book is circulating through my coworkers and it‘s now my turn to read it. I love that the nurses I look up to care enough about me to include me and help me continue to grow. 2021 is my families Year of Mind and I love all the enrichment I am receiving!

READ THIS!!!! Compulsively readable medical true crime about a healthcare industry dirty secret: compounded medicines made on a vast scale WITHOUT FDA oversight. This book terrified me. Dearen recounts the 2012 methlypred fungal meningitis outbreak in chilling detail. It reads like the scariest novel, but it actually happened (and could happen again). Put this on the top of your TBR!!!
