Yeah, I've got this predisone 10 milligrams tablets that I got from the VA and it says to take four tablets by mouth for four days and then three tablets for four days and then two tablets for four days and one tablet for four days. The copy of the report that I got from my visit said to take one tablet every day. I need some help. What do I do? I mean, which one I already started taking four and I took them for the last couple of days. And I don't understand why Frank put down that I should only take one tablet. So if she'd call me back and let me know, I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

Dr. Wade gives excellent care, excellent, excellent care. He knows his business, he does it professionally, he's caring, he asks you questions, he gives you the answers, and then all I can say is if there was a hundred for him to put down, I would put a hundred and ten. He's excellent, excellent. Thank you.
