Horatio is the name that is used to reference my brother in order to protect his identity. As you know, the internet can be a vicious place full of maliciousness, and the last thing I want is to hurt his good name by openly discussing the obstacles of his life.
Most importantly, I hope that after reading this blog you have a greater appreciation for addiction and its deathly grasp on its victims. Otherwise, my enjoyment is to keep you entertained by the musings of an amateur medical student and his efforts to help his brother overcome the most difficult battle of his life.
