For a blood cancer, one of the standard treatments has long been to take blood out. People with polycythemia vera, a chronic condition where the bone marrow makes too many red blood cells, go in again and again for phlebotomy,…
Guidelines already tell most adults with type 2 diabetes between 40 and 75 to take a statin. What the guidelines don’t control is how soon it actually happens. For a lot of people the prescription gets written, the pharmacy fills…
