Plantar fasciitis occurs when there is strain on the ligament that supports your arch. Repeated strain will cause tiny tears in the ligament that can lead to pain and swelling in the fascia. Plantar fasciitis most commonly occurs in people between age 40 and 60.
I know that Remicade is expensive, but I thought that the cost was in the $1000-$3000 range. I want to pursue this with the hospital, but I would like to have some supporting data. Thanks.
The administration of medicines and rehydration fluids by Intravenous Infusion (IV) is the most common medical procedure employed worldwide. In first world hospitals, microprocessor controlled syringe pumps, costing $US2,000 plus, are used to ensure accurate and safe drug delivery. However, in the developing world, a 50 cent plastic roller clamp is used to control IV flow rates for the administration of highly potent medicines.
