I do not stand behind flmm's approach.
It is *our* responsability to weigh the pros and con's of our treatment on a daily basis. If there is one lesson to be learned from this page, it is that, to an extent, you must be your own doctor.
Patients need to understand the gravity and depth of the situation, and the treatment.
Aspirin can save lives, but it can also kill you.
I am not telling the families of the victom of aspirin death to keep quiet, and not tell their story. OTOH, I am not telling Bayer to halt sales of aspirin.
The pro's and con's must be continually weighted and counterballenced.
I am not angry in the least at Nevrov for coming an sharing his story, because without these accounts, the situation would be incompete.
