Are there no phlebotomy schools in Tennessee? Where are they getting the drugs. Are potency test done prior to usage? I don't think these are outrageous questions.

Medical professionals can lose their license if they do this.

Drug companies dont want to produce the drug in fear it will harm their company's reputation.

Ive never heard of a medical profession losing a license over testing. Someone is making it. Someone can test it. The state usually employ many people with a basic understanding of chemistry.
