Summary:  To discover how you got here, you must care enough to ask the question.  This episode is not about peeling away the layers to discover what’s at the mysterious center of your med regimen; rather, it's simply about starting with the drugs which address your most urgent health needs – in this case, your heart.  We will  follow that trail of drugs (one often leads to another), and then move on to other medical conditions i.e., comorbidities.  Ultimately, achieving a balance of the right drugs, doses, and schedules, by monitoring your meds and communicating with your physician and pharmacist, will not only reveal how you got here, but it may result in a better here.
