My statin story was I'm at the Dr. for a yearly physical.Risk reward statins will add on average 8 days to your life, but only if you don't die from their hundreds of side effects before that.
@AmericanViking is correct tell you doctor to fuck off.
Time to get a new doctorMy statin story was I'm at the Dr. for a yearly physical.
Dr. "Because of your age you should be on statins!"
Me "Because of my age, or is there something wrong with my health that requires it?"
Dr. "Well, (looking at her laptop) there is a test you can take."
Me. "Well, let's be for taking the test!"
Took the test. Results ZERO plaque! No statins required, yet she was ready to script me!!
And people wonder why I don't trust Drs!
