“A HEART CATH, GET ANOTHER STENT, HEART CATH, GET ANOTHER STENT… UNTIL MY DOCTOR SAID TO ME, ‘THERE’S NOTHING ELSE I CAN DO.’”

Harmful drug interactions occur, especially with so many doctors and nurses involved in the diagnosis and treatment process. As patients, we need the right kind of healthcare – not too much of the wrong medical care.
