When i was presenting my thesis about home-made IV fluid therapy, one of the more common responses was, approximately, "this is too difficult to attempt, so some people will die".
Not to hijack the thread, but the library at the hospital I'm at currently has a reprint of the original Merck Manual (that is, the 1899 version). It's essentially a "how-to" pharmacy manual: ie, codeine, dose 7gr, mixes well with water, not with alcohol.
If you can scare a copy up, it's kind of fun reading.
