Poor grammar, bullying and drunks.
A presentation by Aseem Malhotra (less than 40mins).

Subjects covered: Overstenting re risks to benefit ratio, Statins, conflict of interest, Research and who really benefits among other things. The figures will astound you especially when you hear of why some doctors might send you for invasive tests (Malhotra's figures on the numbers of elderly patients who have invasive tests done in the last week before death shocked me and resonated because of the circumstances surrounding the death of a close relative).

 
I have a stent grafted in not a heart stent but one for an AAA matter of life and death for me.
