"Surgery was Katie Adase's best chance at finally getting a diagnosis for the chronic pelvic pain that has been plaguing her for years... it's been really scary."
"Without the Baxter facility making IV fluids, hospitals can't order as much as they normally would, according to the company. So hospitals have had to conserve their supplies for the neediest patients."
"This shortage is still touching nearly every hospital in the country, says Dr. Chris DeRienzo, chief physician executive of the American Hospital Association."
"The surgeries most likely to be postponed or canceled include certain bladder surgeries, which require a lot of IV fluids, some heart procedures, orthopedic surgeries and things like Katie Adase's diagnostic surgery."
