In my opinion this is an unfair risk to the doctor's career in assuming responsibility for the quality of the compounded drug.
In the absence of any other evidence, I assume the 30-fold increase is the cost to the manufacturer of preparing the drug for eye injection "according to Hoyle."
So why isn't the batch checker taking on that responsibility?
Doctors aren't responsible for anything and everything that happens. If they've had a drug tested to check it's safe, after informing the patient, what else is there for them to do? You're creating a hypothetical to enforce the status quo. That's why we end up with this bs to start with.
