As SURVEYOR Health joins the world in mourning Heath Ledger's passing, we hope that his medication use will be a warning not only to those who abuse legal prescription drugs but to the ordinary Americans who risk dying from their legal prescription drugs - even when taken as prescribed - every day . While we all feel we knew Heath Ledger, another 4,000 Americans died from their prescription medications during the same week, in fact over 218,000 die each year, mostly without notice.

We recommend you start a new SURVEYOR Health Medication Risk Map for yourself or your family members. With one in ten deaths resulting from prescription medications, you need to immediately identify any symptoms you have which may be side effects, see which of your medications is contributing most to those side effects and see how to modify your medication combination to minimize those risks.

You can easily set up a free membership at SURVEYOR Health and create and save a Med Cabinet for each of your family's members - all for free. This will help you to understand not only the risks from each medication but also from their combination. You can also see drug drug interactions - which are known for specific pairs of drugs. When you enter a person's conditions, you will be able to see contraindications - which are indications that a drug should not be used given the patient's conditions.

While Heath Ledger's death was highly publicized, 600 Americans die every day from their legal prescription medications.
