People like you are part of the problem. "It was covered in all kinds of scary warning labels"—just like every other medication in that drawer. Medical professionals are totally blind to alerts given off by their EMRs because everything has a password-protected warning so that the audit logs can say "yes, this physician/nurse read and understood the warning"

> just like every other medication in that drawer

No, very different from every other med in the drawer. The red cap on the vial is very unusual (reserved for very dangerous meds like this), and the bold printed warning on the top (that you have to look at at least twice while while preparing to administer this medication) is also something used very rarely.
