Certainly what you say make sense Lolly. It would be nice if there was a scientific way to caculate this tho. Ruth's surgeon does mission BC work, and there simply is not $ for the drugs. Sure would be great if there was a way of minimizing drug cost and maximizing efficiency. I don't know how they'd ever figure out the optimal dosages tho.
