5. Five Years: “My grandmother has had diabetes for 20 years and was taking a handful of meds to help control it. She developed a persistent cough, which prompted her doctor to order a battery of tests. They came back negative so he put her on a cocktail of pills to help combat the cough. 35 different meds in five years and nothing was working. She went in for a routine check-up and her normal doctor wasn’t in so she saw an on-call resident. He was confused why she was on so many drugs and said the cough was due to one particular drug that she was on to regulate her insulin. Changed one thing and boom, her cough was gone.” (Reddit user: silence1545)
