After reading this entire Thread again, many seem to make the “doctors”’out as the villains and patients the victims. I am guessing probably unintentionally. There are many good doctors practicing today. A few not so much. There are patients who find it difficult to change their lifestyles and a good physician can observe after a few visits who they are. Taking a statin and other meds maybe the correct treatment for some patients who don’t have the discipline to change their lifestyles so they can get off some, if not all, their medications. If you don’t trust your physician, especially if he/she hasn’t mentioned lifestyle changes because of your condition, look for another one. Just saying.
