[ Yeah, Bones is a real hands-on guy. And a yeller. But he wants to teach things right, and he wants to keep deaths to a minimum, especially when it's some bullshit magical disease that makes his life a living hell. ]
Depends. Usually we can say "the older the vampire, the stronger the dose." But that's only because the assumption is that older vampires eat better, and their bodies are stronger. There's outliers all over the damn castle! You gotta play fast an' loose with it, otherwise you could end up putting somebody in a coma, or triggering their hunger till they get wild and start attacking people.
[ Yeah, drugs and vampires are a recipe for disaster, usually. It's a dangerous game, when you're treating monsters. ]
I mean, the coma's not really a problem. They'll wake up eventually. It's the alternative that's a real pain in the ass. It's why we make medicine usin' our own blood. Compulsion don't work on vampires, unless they've drunk your blood.
