If they can't figure out what happened, how can they tell him the heart issue didn't cause it? Do these doctors think we're stupid? They don't want to admit they may not have done his stenting perfectly enough. Ironic it happened right after the intervention. Most patients believe them without asking a single question. I am curious as to why is he taking OXYCONTIN?

Also, I have prescription insurance and never use it unless it's a free med. I use GoodRx. It's a huge money saver....and life saver, too. It's free. Just download the app.

Yeah, good luck with disability. My daughter can barely walk and has been this way since an abscess was removed from her spine four years ago. She's still trying to get disability. I cannot figure that process out. I'm sure you've heard many stories about perfectly healthy people walking around with disability.

Can they punish him because he has a roommate? What does that have to do with his desire to at least eat?

Even with a sad subject, I enjoyed reading your article.
