Shoq on Nostr: The bill for my knee injection of hyaluronic acid. Note that the injection itself ...
The bill for my knee injection of hyaluronic acid. Note that the injection itself made the clinic a perfectly reasonable $314. The drug was $4900.
I checked the cost of making the stuff. $1100 a kg. Thus, the 48mg injection was billed at over 20,000 times cost.
We are all insane to be living with this madness. Insane.
