"
Over the past five years this rigorous monitoring has successfully minimised mortality due to agranulocytosis. Analysis of 6316 patients taking clozapine showed a cumulative incidence of agranulocytosis of 0.8% over four and a half years, with just two deaths.
"
2 deaths in 4.5 years directly from agranulocytosis even with the compulsory hematological monitoring. This doesn't take into account reduced life expectancy.

About Me
- we
- We It comes in part from an appreciation that no one can truly sign their own work. Everything is many influences coming together to the one moment where a work exists. The other is a begrudging acceptance that my work was never my own. There is another consciousness or non-corporeal entity that helps and harms me in everything I do. I am not I because of this force or entity. I am "we"
