Why is injection a problem for a magic healing elixer? Not one person with a severed tendon would ever say "I'd love some help knitting this baby back together so I can walk again, but injections, that's just not going to happen"
- gumby 8y agoOne is the injectable self-administration is difficult and the cost of a daily outpatient visit would be exorbitant, even with NPs doing administration. Plus in both cases compliance might not be adequate.
- ip26 8y agoCompliance might not be adequate? How do you figure? Injuries to muscle, tendon, and ligament are extremely debilitating and don't normally heal well. I struggle to imagine someone who can't be bothered.
- gumby 8y agoI used to work in pharma and you’d be shocked by the adherence statistics. Even just taking a tablet is difficult for most people, and a shocking number of refillable prescriptions are never refilled. With injections it’s far worse, even when people know that it will be life saving.
