The death of a Milwaukee high school football coach has drawn attention to national drug shortages, as his family speaks out about their inability to access life-saving treatment. Jeff Bolle, 60, died on Dec. 29, 2023 of stage 4 bile duct cancer, seven months after his last chemotherapy treatment with a drug known as cisplatin.
Despite otherwise good health, Bolle was diagnosed in 2022. After undergoing surgery and four rounds of chemotherapy, Bolle's treatments were stopped in May of 2023 when cisplatin became unavailable.
