>More throughput is not a good thing if the hospital is losing money on each patient.<

I have no idea why you're assuming they'd lose money on a Toc-paclitaxel patient.

My point is that the differential in cost to the system between 15 minutes of bed time and 3 hours of bed time gives Sonus plenty of room to command a premium. Increased throughput has successfully been used as a rationale for vastly more expensive branded antithrombotics, and the difference is trivial compared with 15 min vs 3 h.
