Glad to be of Service!
In response to my
recent post about Jane
Brody's misleading
article in the New York Times, an article that
one might see as upsetting to a stent patient, reader BC
(not me) writes in:
Thank you!, Thank you! I was one of those misled
by what I had read in the popular press (additional articles
aside from Ms. Brody’s latest) and was feeling awful on both
counts: that I had had the stents put in and that I had to
keep taking those
awful meds with their associated awful side effects.
You really put me at ease,
Which lowers my blood pressure,
Which puts me at lower risk for another “coronary event.” |
The reader, by the way, had a heart attack a year-and-a-half
ago, and two bare-metal stents inserted in a very
critical artery to prevent "another coronary
event". He also made lifestyle changes and feels better today than
he has in years. He also continues reading the New York Times.
