Re Pharmacologist Discovered The Grapefruit Effect (Obituary, Sept. 24): Thank you for putting a face, name and story to the man who continues to save my life every day.

Following my miraculous resuscitation from full cardiac arrest on Leap Day morning in 2020, I have been curious about the warning against taking grapefruit juice with some of my pills. How lucky that so many of us benefit from the brilliant discovery by David Bailey of grapefruit juice’ s adverse effect on certain blood-pressure medicines.

As I sip my orange juice instead, I now know who to thank.
