I make a terrible patient. I ask a ton of questions, I check myriads of connections, and I’m fixated on finding the root cause – a behavior that tends to drive nuts many clinicians. I do the same for my patients, however.
Metformin, muscle pain, and orange P
I was used to reading about a few side effect reports here and there and then wait decades to have enough cases to draw a conclusion.
