Knowing that we need have something, but the cost is so far out of reach for the people who can't afford over $300 for something that will hopefully never have to be used. I agree with Anonymous (5/15/2013) most will opt to take the risk and go without.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057269305378114997.post-80581974739243088792013-05-15T12:54:29.272-04:002013-05-15T12:54:29.272-04:00Why are these things so expensive!

There around 75 millions Americans who are at risk and only a small fraction of that get the prescriptions....in large part because of the cost. You have to spend $300 a year for a medicine that you most likely will not need. Most people will opt to take the risk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057269305378114997.post-5586377798306307862013-03-07T08:41:27.707-05:002013-03-07T08:41:27.707-05:00I am very excited as a school nurse to have gotten...I am very excited as a school nurse to have gotten my hands on this trainer.

They are the end users and their ability to successfully use their auto injector is the difference between life and death.Gratefulfoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03885422871826663384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057269305378114997.post-34410154928567794212013-02-09T14:35:34.412-05:002013-02-09T14:35:34.412-05:00Well written article!

As well as school nurses. Also, how many Auvi-Q's might end up in the toilet by accident.<br /><br />On the other hand, my 14 year old is thrilled since he struggles to carry two epi pens and an in haler in his pockets! I think both products will meet the needs of many.<br /><br />Again, very well written article! Thank you for helping raise awareness.Gratefulfoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03885422871826663384noreply@blogger.com
