[QUOTE="rapidsequence, post: 1891543, member: 56215"] You want Mexican medicine? Have at it..Enjoy. Look, medicine is expensive. Does it have to be? No. Not like it is now. But it will always be somewhat pricey. But take the scorpion antivenom. How long did research take to develop? How long to get to market? How many actual doses are used in a year? All these things will ensure it is never on the $4.00 list. I can promise you, I've been practicing medicine 15 yrs and have never been influenced by a drug rep or company. If your drug is crap, I won't use it. If its good, it gets prescribed/used. Americans demand the best, and God help you if you dont do EVERYTHING to "fix" their maladies. If they didn't give this chick the antivenom and she had a bad outcome, the docs would have their butts sued. Could they have said "hey, we were worried about cost, so we took it easy on her."? We all know that would not fly. Cheap medicine is not good, and good medicine is not cheap. You want it different? Juarez is just a little south of here. Enjoy. [/QUOTE]
