Yep, it is. It has that comparison grid so people can quickly see how the drugs differ. I'm really hoping to never need any of them but am keeping an eye on the choices.

A friend of my parents had to have extensive spine and hip surgery some years back and was in her late 80s. I remember that she had to see several consultants before winning an appeal for insurance coverage for it. But the thing that I remember most is that the surgeons had to first assure themselves that she was still able to grow bone. She was, they dud the surgery, it was successful, and she was walking paim-free after being unable to walk much at all.
