Saw this on CNN today. Cash only of course but I believe $179-249 for treatment depending on what you want in IV? Said RN's being used but docs also for prescribing protocols as well.

Did not hear where service was being offered.

A nurse started a mobile business like that here. She has a team of other nurses and a doctor working for her. They come to your house and monitor you while you are getting the infusion.


Can only imagine all the waivers you have to sign if you want their service.

They have the service in vegas. Offers different packages. Basically pump you with fluids and send you on your way. Sometimes they do an electrolyte replacement. Have to have a doctor prescribing. The guy in vegas is an anesthesiologist.

I have a friend in the Army that told me he used to do this to himself when he had access to medical supplies on base.

I saw an advertisement for this type of place on a bus by UNO yesterday. Would be good to have it around LSU with some sort of monthly subscription for a certain amount of visits. Maybe the oxygen to the nose and have an extra charge for an IV

$200 for a single time is outrageous

if is an interesting premise...

I do think that anyone who feels that it is ok to pay $200 to get over a hangover should probably consider quitting drinking instead...
