Singlehandedly almost killed my dad from misdiagnosing him.  He told him that he was just old and there was nothing that he could do for him.  We took him to the hospital and his blood levels were critically low due to the anticoagulants that Sheffield had prescribed.  After 4 units of blood, my dad was back to normal.  Amazing
