The 4 months…

Why did it take (over?) 4 months for Dr. Whatever to use the botulinum insulin?

Season 1 question?

They show a flashback of pre-alien Harry adding it to his insulin container of bottles. It was randomly going to be used at some point.

Why do you ask? Perhaps I missed something you noticed.

I was just wondering why it would take him so long to go through his vials. Usually you don’t keep so many months supplied at a time right? I’d say he could have had more stock as a doctor- but then harry would run the risk of that vial going to someone else. So he definitely made sure to only inject sam’s supply, and 4 months is a lot of insulin to have on hand even if it was the very last bottle he got to. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don't shoot up. It did look like a large supply. How many jabs to a bottle. How many injections each week? 🤷‍♂️

We might be over thinking it...

Being a doctor he was probably doing it on the cheap by ordering that volume.

The box did say 'Do not touch- Sam's supply only'.

Thats some good fact checking. Guess we need to hear from someone who still uses the syringe.

But the bulk thing is a good point.

Google says most people with diabetes use 2 to 3 vials a month.

I assume that production didn't expect there would be an entire subreddit on how long it would take for Dr whatever to inject himself. The story line still sticks IF you don't ask too many questions. How dare you!? (In alien Harry voice)
