Re: Viagra
If the patient dies as a result of a heart attack after taking viagra, my question wuold not necessarily be what test should have been done, but did the doctor know that the patient had a heart condition? Did the patient know of a heart condition.
If this actually happened, then please feel free to call me to talk through this.
