A majority of my patients are given free medication from the drug companies based on their low-income status. These patients are usually very grateful and actually take the medication bc they know that it's difficult to get.
Today, our clinic was given a Coaguchek XS machine to start POC INR testing instead of venipunctures each time. Also today, I spoke to one of my INR patients over the phone who consistently has problems with the lab despite all my efforts to make things run smoothly for her. This only validated our need for POC machines in the clinic.
THANK YOU to all of the big pharma drug companies for donating your medication and other supplies to our clinics, we can offer better comprehensive care because of it!
