Some snake oil to start the week right
A doctor friend of mine recommended an IV infusion, apparently it’s really good for you and he says lots of people feel better afterwards. Let’s see how I feel after, maybe it’ll be a good start to the week. I’m not sure if the benefits would outweigh just drinking a Gatorade lol

It’s some concoction, he said it’s NAD treatment which is used for all sorts of stuff. From drug rehab, to chemo patients. He offered the treatment for free, so I didn’t ask many questions. I’ll be planted for a few hours though. Might finish Dark Crystal while waiting.

Doctors also used to think blood letting was good for you. That belief killed thousands.
I'll stick to taking my liquids orally (with a little malted barley and hops for flavour). |

Are you in a medical facility or is this IV being administered at some home. There is absolutely no reason for an IV unless you are nauseous/incapacitated/aspiration prone and can’t just drink it.

I'm a hospital pharmacist that MAKE / DISTRIBUTE stuff like this, so let me know more about this "IV Infusion" that makes you feel better. It could be as benign as a cold LR.

Not worried. But I guess people just want to get mad and call me mental. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |

Some of my colleagues were discussing it a while back. It’s a business in Vegas. Just need an MD, DO, or NP license on the line, have some nurses insert a peripheral, administer IV fluids or a banana bag, then invoice the client for some ridiculous amount. AOW |

That’s what I heard! He said he has wealthy clients that pay to get their hangovers cured after a crazy night out. People doing this before they head in to work. I can’t even imagine getting that trashed before work though. It’s hard to believe you can just cure a hangover in an hour or so.

Next you should try a coffee enema
Report back after you've tried it and compare it to the IV |

IV hydration therapy is not new. At least now around here. They have hangover cures, vitamin infusions and plain hydration therapy. I have friends who own IV Hydration businesses. Never tried it though
