Psst...you want a flu shot?

remember all that bruhaha about no flu shots? Well, now we have plenty and can't give it away...just as I predicted...same thing happened six years ago...
Don't you love election year? It's true they lost some bad vaccines, but now they found more and there's not yet a lot of flu around yet, so no one wants it...

The main thing right now I'm spending a lot of my time is getting funding for Procrit/Epogen...

In the old days, we just transfused...or let the blood count go down. Now we give shots, which take a month to work, but cut the need of transfusions. Bad news? It only costs a couple hundred dollars each shot...

So we have to try to find payments for those without insurance...or grants from the drug company.

There are ways to have it paid for, but you have to do the paper work.....
