“Dr. Anna Groysman, an endocrinologist at Penn Medicine, said she is seeing the shortage issues play out daily among the patients she treats in Bucks County.”

“Just when I found what they need, I’m having to have these women go through a second round of pains in finding what dose works,” she said. “And it really can take six to eight weeks or even longer to see if a given dose works for them. That’s a long time to wait.”

“We’re torturing them with not providing the treatments that they need and deserve and that they’re on already,” Groysman said.
