In going to be brutally cynical.
Cisplatin may cost $6 a dose to buy, I bet it sells for much more at the US hospital to the Insurance company or god forbid the patient.
- chromatin 3y agoAt the hospital, the cost of cisplatin also includes the salary of the chemo pharmacist, the chemo nurse, and the medical oncologist (plus probably layers of unnecessary bureaucratic administrators)
- omniglottal 3y agoNotably, it's a multi-day fraction of those salaries, regardless of the multi-minute effort they put in to "analyze" a purely statistical inference which is applied to the individual patient.
