How Did This Rat Poison Ended Up in Millions of Bloodstreams?

It could be in you or your parent’s or grandparent’s blood.

Rat poison can be flowing in your bloodstream by now.

This could happen to you.

You are looking at your dad in a hospital bed, in an emergency room. The bed is elevated. He’s motionless. An oxygen mask covered his face. Tubes drape everywhere.

The nurse scribbled some notes as the doctor dictated what to do next. The doctor turned to you, and said:

“I instructed the nurse to use this medicine for your parents to take.” He said, “he will be okay” and then headed for the doors.

The doctor paused, turned around, and said to you, “One more thing, the drug that your dad will be using, is rat poison.”

If the above little story happened to you, you will be pissed. These are WTH moments where you asked the doctor, “are you killing my parent?”.

But the above scene is for real.

It is happening in every clinic in the world. The only thing that the doctor would not say is “take this, it’s a rat poison.”

So why would a doctor prescribe a rat poison?

Later, I’ll elaborate more, but for the meantime, let me tell you a backstory to put a little context.
