When your doctor gives orders, follow them

Three out of four Americans fail to take prescribed medicines as directed, meaning 75% of Americans are at risk of not healing as quickly or suffering increased symptoms and serious health complications from illnesses. U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Regina Benjamin is announcing a new prescription drug adherence campaign called Script Your Future. She speaks with Kiran about the campaign and why listening to your doctor could save your life.
