[MBZ] Statins

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

I have been on statins for probably 10 years off an on with my old 
doctor.  My old doctor was a quack so I had not been to see anyone for 
about 2 years and have not taken any for at least a year.  Finally went 
to new doctor yesterday. He went ahead and gave me a script for them 
again since it stood to reason if I needed them before I would still 
need them.  The doctor personally called me this morning saying he got 
my labs back.  That had me worried since I have never had a doctor call 
me.  He said not to take the statin because my numbers looked good.  
Upon logging in to their website to look at the results my numbers are 
not really a whole lot different than they were all along.  I just guess 
this doctor just does not push these pills on people.  For example, my 
current LDL is 127.  Last time I was tested in 17 it was 140.  I think 
that I may not have been taking a statin at that time.  The 2 tests 
before in 14 and 15 were 80 and 67 when I was on one. Before than it ran 
around 103 to 140.  I guess the new doctor is not getting kickbacks from 
the drug reps like my old doctor was.
