Maybe in real life anybody with a recurring situation goes to one of the other options, from buying vials and using diabetic disposables to whatever. This is precisely the point. Millions of people in this country draw up their insulin into their syringes, and self administer it - or friends or family members do it for them. No one tells them that unless they agree to use every day a disposable device costing hundreds of dollars, they must die. I'm sure many people do just as you described - that's what I would do. But, many others get robbed - or are forced to take their chances and not have the medication available. It may not be easy to find a pharmacist who carries vials of Epinephrine - it may be necessary to get them through a medical supply place. Edit - but, ultimately, there is no reason why a syringe with a spring should cost as much as a TV set.
