I called to order pick up from my favorite dumpling spot the other day, and the old lady who makes dumplings answered the phone, apologized, and explained that this was her day off and this was just her private cell phone number. Great dumplings.

Hey, Chelsea de Gomez, Front Burner, Tara Carman: In the domperidone story you say that more than 120 million prescriptions for this drug were filled in 2020. What does that mean? How were there three times as many prescriptions filled as there are people in Canada?
