LB756 is an admirable attempt for donation of expensive medications back to cancer patients. In reality, however, few pharmacies will be able to maintain the paperwork process required in this bill. In addition, few local pharmacies handle chemotherapy medication distribution.
Patient safety is a priority in most health care professionals practice. The thought of dispensing a medication where the handling of it could not be tracked violates the rules of a safe, professional practice. Cancer patients tend to be some of our most vulnerable patients. Many times their immune systems are severely compromised from the cancer medications and treatment. Even a slight error or alteration of their medication could have a devastating, negative effect. The Cancer Drug Repository Act has the best intentions of these patients in mind to help meet the financial burden of cancer treatment. Even the best intentions, however, are not always the right thing to do.
一、全文翻译
家庭的某个成员被诊断患有癌症之后对这个家庭来说无异于灾难。有很多未知的问题:是否会有疼痛及体质的变化,如果失去所爱的人我又该如何面对?一个家庭要问的最终一个问题是:是否负担得起医疗费。这是参议员McDonald对于癌症药物积存项目法案,LB756的由衷感受。这一法案已被纳入新的立法程序。这项草案的目的是让那些拥有尚未使用的癌症药物的家庭,将那些药物捐献给药店、医院或非盈利性质的诊所,待药物被检查以后重新给其他癌症病人使用。
