| Yep, from the graphic below, you can see that .1% of the cost of antivenom is the production cost. Greedy Hospitals get the bulk of the rest of the $14,000.

| Many medications that cost $10 here are less than $1 in most other countries. The 2 big reasons are GREEDY stockholders of the pharmaceutical companies and dang lawyers that sue for millions on anything they can sue for if it's due to a medication.. | |
