Hey, I've got the answer: Just make 1 mg of epi cost $1,000 and we'll see a

miraculous decline in the over-enthusiastic use in pre-hospital patients.

However, its use in the hospital will escalate 100 times.

good idea.

you know what i've seen in the ED? this is bizarre.

instead of using 30mg 30ml epi 1:10 in the vial, i've seen a certain

hospital (which will remain nameless) open five (count 'em) five boxes of 1mg

10ml epi 1:10,000

in order to give 5mg epi in a code. after offering to retrieve

a vial of 30mg to make the code a little less labor intensive

they looked at me like i was crazy. they probably make mo money

with a shitload of 1mg PFS rather than a vial
