Hello I Am A 60 Year Old Male That Had

hello I am a 60 year old male that had several heart attacks 5 years ago. I had a stint put in and was on Plavix..which I could not afford. In any case I had another heart attack and was taken to a different hospital and a triple bypass was done. I overheard my doctor tell some one the stint that was put in was too small and it was replaced with a non medicated stint. I was in Ohio at the time. I am now in Oregon and am going in for another stint for a different blockage. I was referred by my regular doctor to a specialist. He prescribed CLOPIDOGREL looked it up and its generic plavics. I haven't been to see him and my regular doctors office said they know nothing about it. called the specialist and they told me he wants me on the drug for the procedure. I do not know what kind of stint they plan to implant yet. your thoughts?
