The Power of a Patient's Question

Caption

Jamie Dossett-Mercer (left) asked how all the new oral blood thinners compare to one another. It was a question hematologist and scientist Dr. Marc Carrier (right) of The Ottawa Hospital couldn't answer, so he took it upon himself to find out. The result is a network meta-analysis published in JAMA on Sept., 16, 2014.
