The numbers that do not add up (until you see the third one)
The official record and what you see, side by side. Neither one is lying; they measure different things. The line below each card explains which.
39 pharmacists to fill your prescription.
1 cardiologist, 1 oncologist, and 1 neurologist to write it.
The chain is complete at the end and broken at the start: the medicine arrives easily, the prescription does not.
⚠️ And a detail almost nobody knows: the federal government does not remove anyone from the registry on its own. When a doctor or dentist retires, moves, or closes the office, it is on them to take themselves out of the system, and many never do. That is why these counts are a ceiling, not a floor: the real shortage can be worse than the number says. And it is why people call an office "in the registry" and find it already closed. Every name below links its federal NPI so you can confirm before making the trip.
