Ask HN: Hypothetical Scenario: What if blood pressure drugs were outlawed
Hypothetical Scenario: All classes of blood pressure drugs will be outlawed in 180 days.
You are a doctor. You now have 180 days to save your patients lives. What steps would you take? What technology and scientific resources are available to you?
- Piskvorrr 9y agoAfter the 180 days, the drugs are outlawed in one jurisdiction - such arbitrage opportunities already exist, e.g. "you need to go to Mexico for this treatment".
- AnimalMuppet 9y agoI'd band together with every other medical professional in the country to work on getting the stupid law changed before it killed a bunch of people.
- cylinder714 9y agoIs this a homework assignment?
- DoreenMichele 9y agoDiet. Exercise. Develop better monitoring tools to make the most of the mechanisms available. But, in reality, reversing the laws or going to the black market is the most pragmatic approach. Diet and exercise and refining understanding takes more than 180 days to effectively implement and takes more discipline and control over your life than most people have.
