Thread: Just got back from my third heart attack

Looks like you are starting to feel better.........great.

My Dr had me on Plavix for a while but everytime I bumped myself, even slightly, I got a bruise the size of Texas. So I stopped taking it. In fact, about 4 years ago I was running low on my other meds (cadizem, lopressor and Isordil) and needed the Dr to call in a new script. They pulled the usual BS on me and said I needed to come in for a checkup first. I had been on the same meds for almost 20 years with no change so I saw no reason that they needed to see me, except they like to make the money from the visit. So I simply quit taking all the meds and haven't taken any for 4 years. Since I am still vertical this morning I guess I really didn't need all of those pills and sure didn't need to continue paying for my cardiologists golf sessions. I think that is one reason people get so mad at the medical profession.
