    I go to the Mayo Clinic in two weeks. Obviously these stories are going to catch my eye… but that doesn’t make it any less terrifying. What if someone treating me decides to replace a drug I need like this?

    Imagine if we didn’t have a pointless drug war, so this sort of thing wouldn’t happen. Then those of us who are already scared because of our medical conditions won’t have the added fear of just thinking we might not come out when we go in through something totally preventable.
