Goodbye Everyone

you are a worn out hoot! makes me feel like a teenager.

I was assuming I could get off a few meds. Nope, they are gonna add more, all heart meds are for life.

as always, it’s the lack of acknowledgement from OP. a simple ’thanks for your response’ would be nice.

who raised these people?

If you have AF, be a little wary about the new anticoagulants. My own lawyer, who was my patient, had a mitral valve replacement, and chose to swap to one of the new anticoagulants (Pradax) simply so he would not have to have an INR once a month and have me call him to adjust his warfarin dose. He enjoyed that convenience for 18 months before he had a massive stroke and died. What a waste.

Dogberry, is that anecdote borne out by results of the clinical trials that supported FDA licensure of Pradax? Did they even compare the trial drug to an alternative standard of care?
