Note: I am neither a physician, nor do I play one on TV. I have on occasion been confused with Anthony Edwards, who has played a doctor on TV. Mr. Edwards and I share the same birthdate–July 19–although he is two years older than I. I am relaying the above information to you as a public service. Please do not misconstrue the presentation of this information as a recommendation for or an endorsement of the drug mentioned. And, as always, consult your doctor. Your real one.
