Every week you remove one “tray.” These look like a small microwave meal. A semi-opaque partitioned plastic tray with a peel-away cover (see illustrations). But all or most of what’s inside is inedible. A syringe filled with sterile water. A vial containing a small amount of white powder. Two alcohol prep pads in tear open pouches, two needles for the syringe, each encased in plastic and sealed in a paper wrapper. And a 36” by 18” piece of paper on which is printed, both sides, a dissertation. This absolute marvel of modern printing economy has been folded to the size and heft of a cigarette lighter. The dissertation contains instructions (again) on self-administering the medicine AND the FDA-prescribed information that must accompany the drug. nail cancer pictures |
