==================
 ML> last bit of precious medication, did you. I figure if my
 ML> body needs that last 3 mL of the liter that much, I might
 ML> as well pack it in right away.
 NB> When I'm getting my iron infusion, I want that last 3ml of the
 NB> (somewhat smaller) bag... ;)

The standard dose is administered with a bag of fluid, is it
not? Even if it's the smallest bag, 100, you still get over
97% - 107/110 if the Internet tells true, plus the last few
mL are going to be more dilute than average. The small
numbers that people generally deal with, compared with the
relatively large human body, makes the benefit of squeezing
that last few ions out not worth the effort.

 ML> There is a book of things that are authorized to be
 ML> administrated together. Magnesium and one of the balanced
 ML> electrolyte solutions (I forget which) was a combination
 ML> not listed in the book, and they couldn't do them together.
 NB> As I said, protocol.  Doesn't have to make sense, just has to be
 NB> followed... if not listed, it can't be done...

Abundances of caution often go too far, and when they
cancel out both common sense and experimental knowledge,
what's the point.
 
 ML> Allopurinol, as I recall, used to be part of the chemo
 ML> cocktail in the '50s or '60s for I think leukemia.
 NB> Interesting... Did they decide it wasn't effective there, or just
 NB> found better(ish) drugs since then...?

It went with 6-MP, something my father used to work with,
so that's why I remembered; but I don't think that it was
as effective as other co-drugs. I just did a curiosity
search on Google and found that 6-MP isn't used so much
any more itself (I never figured out the role of
immunosuppressants in cancer therapy anyway).

 NB>> With any luck, the body will settle in, and things will have gone
 NB>> back to (somewhat) normal...  ;)
 ML> If not, too sad.
 NB> I'm wishing at least survival for you... if not much much better... ;)

Well, thanks, I wish that for you and all my friends
(and even most nonfriends).
