"Last weekend, my wife and I, along with 950 other doctors and spouses, were in Las Vegas as the guests of a multi-billion-dollar drug cartel. We were put up in an opulent suite at the Venetian, Vegas's newest hypertrophied casino-hotel.
"The cartel was trying to persuade us to prescribe their brand name of a cholesterol-lowering drug which, actually, is no better or worse than five other "statins" on the market. (But only one of which sends the doctor to Venice in Vegas.)"
BTW, Rambi, wonderfully warm and humorous telling of your ER visits with your sons over the years. Would love to read the book. - Holly |
