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.

That is in Vegas. Other service being started in NYC apparently.

Vegas is an awesome idea.

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.

The service here also caters to athletes post run or for women wanting to look more refreshed and vibrant for photo shoots(ex:bridal shoots).

Forget the name of her company....it was featured on local PHX news recently.

I saw this as well. But I can't believe the docs are administering the fluids. Especially after business gets rolling.

They should have bachelor/bachelorette packages available. Like a group discount to come out to the hotel the next morning for all those hurting from the night before. Especially If it's like a weekend trip, let everyone enjoy the rest of the trip without being so miserable.

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.
