The doctor who discharged me for refusing statins did so based on the labs below. They don't meet the recommended standards but they're not horrible. She would not budge. But it was only my second visit with her so it's not like she and I had any history.

Total: 212
LDL: 126
HDL: 59


If physicians can be penalized when their patients don't meet certain guidelines for best practices, do they also get bonuses when they prescribe certain meds?
