That wasn't the lead, and I made a really bad choice of example maladies. Let's say instead that you get Lupus. The doctors prescribe for you a combination of
five different drugs: an anti-inflammatory, two corticosteroids, an immunosuppressive, and an anticoagulant. You'll take these as pills. Furthermore they want to begin a round of experimental treatment using monoclonal antibodies. (disclosure: WTF are monoclonal antibodies?)
Is there any difference between what you would say/do next now, as opposed to what you would have said two years ago?
Actually it may not be such a leading question, but like Jinx's question I am just interested in your thoughts on it. Regardless of whether it leads to more conversation.
