Spent time researching side effects of the 3 pills I take. Finding out that 380K deaths are caused by pills in the U.S. and Europe alone.
Bear in mind that number doesn't tell us much of anything useful without knowing how many of those were caused by misuse of the pills, such as overdoses, which pills are causing how many deaths, and the number of deaths caused by each pill vs. how many people are taking them.Spent time researching side effects of the 3 pills I take.

Apr 15, 1998 — "More than 100,000 people a year die in American hospitals from adverse reactions to medication" That's 100,000 families losing a loved one, 100K funerals.Bear in mind that number doesn't tell us much of anything useful without knowing how many of those were caused by misuse of the pills, such as overdoses, which pills are causing how many deaths, and the number of deaths caused by each pill vs. how many people are taking them.
Sounds like "quality journalism" to me.
Do you mind sharing what medication it is? Or is that the total for adverse reactions to all medications?Apr 15, 1998 — "More than 100,000 people a year die in American hospitals from adverse reactions to medication" That's 100,000 families losing a loved one, 100K funerals.
You're talking about medical errors here where before you were talking about "pills." the two are not necessarily the same.Apr 15, 1998 — "More than 100,000 people a year die in American hospitals from adverse reactions to medication" That's 100,000 families losing a loved one, 100K funerals.
Yes, it is. No need for sarcasm over that.I 'functioned'. Good on me.
Let's try this again. A car breakdown (last time) is totally understandable. So let's try again. Promise to go. To me. "Joe, I promise I will go to that launch." (In order to create a sense of accountability.)I did some final preparations for maybe getting up at 5am Saturday and driving to the desert to launch rockets.
Yup. The grief will always remain. The hatred of having to go on will be forgotten and the ability to function will continue to increase thanks in large part to these amazing drugs. The pain may very well diminish, not because of the drugs, but because the improvements that the drugs bring about make life less painful.I think that is the drugs. The grief and pain remain. The hatred of having to live on starts to subside… a little bit. And the ability to work or concentrate increases. A little bit. That is the drugs huh?
So write it! I haven't said it in a while, I think writing it will help you. And who among us wouldn't like to read such a love story, even one with a sad ending? Have you ever seen Up, the Pixar movie? The first five or ten minutes, without a word of dialog if I remember right, are a great love story despite the sad conclusion when Ellie dies. Add to that the small twist ending of the movie, and the period of depression in between, and it could be your life (except for the whole floating house thing and the rest of the plot) if you'll accept the ending.I want to write a tome about her. And me. And our love.
How come it took more than one facility to fix you up?various Urgent Care facilities and finally an ER
And how many would have died of the condition being treated if not for the pills (e.g. the disease is 50% fatal if untreated, 5% fatal if treated, and the treatment has fatal side effects in 0.5% of cases.)Bear in mind that number doesn't tell us much of anything useful without knowing how many of those were caused by misuse of the pills, such as overdoses, which pills are causing how many deaths, and the number of deaths caused by each pill vs. how many people are taking them.

Well, y'know, "Do or do not; there is no try." And let there be no "do not" either. Get out there.I'll try and launch a few rockets tomorrow. I'll try...
Well, at least now he can see a cataract past your eyelids.The MD in Paducah scheduled me for outpatient surgery in about three weeks, for a hernia. Also going to the eye doctor for assessment for cataracts, in about two weeks. Yep, getting old ain't for sissies.
