Bai, it’s a difficult choice and major legal liability if a doctor foregoes and the patient suffers some related incident. So it may not be absolutely necessary, but cover your ass.   

Also one cannot ignore the fees involved!

I have three stents. One implanted since 1997 and two more in 2008. Each free of cost in Toronto.

Take a peek at the two articles regarding the new study.

They may have some merit however, I was personally able to witness a live stent implant while in India.  It was incredible, the difference when the stent was opened in the artery.  The entire artery light up with blood flow and the heart, which was struggling, suddenly changed to a healthy regular beat. 

So I’m not doubting their study, but there is merit to stents in many cases.  However, I’m sure it’s over used.  Lots of fees involved!

Due to poor strategy and planning,the "fearless" warriors are easily conquered.

We are the best and it is not cheap. You Americans come here for training.

Sun Life Insurance will cover Medical Ganja but on the other hand I don't need a Doctor's paper I can plant my own.
