posology

Doctor Pöndschüm favours a one-size-fits-all approach to posology. Dosages are pretty much determined by the size of manufacturer packaging and whatever beakers, pipets, spoons, pumps, syringes or electrical sockets happen to be within reach. Binary medicine, one might call it. A treatment has been administered, or it hasn't. A patient has survived, or not. Nuances beyond these facts are details, and hence somebody else's problem.

@Janet: With glee, with abandon! With lots of private chuckling and a little shadow!
