Drug them all.

No. They are being given lasix most usually to save their lives.

That knowledge and understanding separates those that are licensed to use and dispense legend drugs - doctors, pharmacists, veterinarians, etc. - and the guy at the end of the bar stool expounding upon how much he knows about lasix because he read a NYT opinion piece that confirmed what he's determined to think.

So completely irrelevant to the subject at hand, at least we agree on that.

No, the pharmacology and mechanism of action of a drug is 100% "relevant".

You being unable to comprehend that just makes you "irrelevant".
