The Cost of a Shot
 

Today i was told that if I am chosen for one of three trials I will be getting an injection called Avastin that costs (drum roll) 12,000 to 16,000 dollars a shot!!!!!!

The trial, natch, would pay for this shot. My question: what insurance company on the face of this earth would pay for something like that? My mind has been well and truly blown.

I predict the next Hollywood fashion is going to be Avastin Parties...

Looks like they are trying to make up the R&D costs in the trial.

It's made from the blood of a family of pygmies in Venezuala.

"The Cost of a Shot " by Brianna

I thought this was gonna be something about your regret over taking that last shot of Jägermeister, when you woke up the next day feeling like a Mac truck drove through your butthole and dumped a load of curdled buttermilk down the back of your throat. And then left before you woke up.

Stick to tequilla.

I'm sure some people around will tell you that you live in a free, capitalist society, and you have the choice not to take the shot.

Flint, that was a really funny post and I did laugh about it.

But, as I was laughing I was also saying to myself, "This Flint guy has a tinge of hostility towards you, Bri. I wonder why? Is it due to your love of anthropomorphization? Your experience with prison guards? Your perfectly priceless new pedicure?" and then I warned myself to give you wide berth and plenty of reasons to put the gun away. I wish you no ill will, Flinty. I wish you only peace, my brother. The peace of the woodland monkeys and the serenity of the newly comatose.

Because, somewhere, somehow, I decided that you were the kind of person who thinks the same things are funny as I do. And it's no fun taking potshots at somebody if they don't "get it" ... so it's your own fault, as evidenced by the fact that you laughed at my post.

Get it? "laughed at my post"

Ok. Good!

NOw, off to the MRI!

I'm late or I would';ve thought of something funny to post ;)

Have fun in the tube. Make 'em give you some valium.

i now want to tongue-kiss Flint.

But that's just me.

No, it's not just you.... Ducks does too :D

Heyyyy....I told you that in the confidence of....well.....gabbly.

won't the cost of the shot go down after it's in mass production?

He was there too, wasn't he? Anyway I agreed with you... and so did Jim I think...
