Because of this, they were forced to turn to Emergency Rooms for vital, life-savings medications that would otherwise be prescribed in a routine office visit. I have first hand knowledge of the devastating effects of this policy. Patients in their 30's, in the middle of chemotherapy, had no where to turn. Patients in wheelchairs, diabetics, COPD'ers, the list is endless had no where to turn. Thanks Dr Frist. You're a real charmer. Dear Dr Frist:
