If an IV bag is just water, why am I paying so much for it?

Is it just the "professionalism" of the med school drop outs sticking a needle in my arm? I can fill a big with water and prick myself to get over a hangover.

It isn't just water.

Do you think they just fill those up in the sink or something?

Medical grade sterile saline. You don't want them to mix up a batch of tap water and Morton salt and run it through your veins.

Plus you're paying for errbody's malpractice policy, the hospital administrator's six figure salary, and the insurance company CEO's seven figure salary.

Not just water but to answer your question it's called medical insurance companies.

You could always request that they shove the IV line up your arse instead.

Partially. But most of the excess and unnecessary cost is from people who don't want to work and contribute to society suing and getting millions for bullshite.

Well I'm hoping it's manufactured under a little better quality control than I would do in my kitchen.

Don't knock it until you try it. It's how the rugby team was able to make it to practice in the morning
