I feel I should say, my Dad was an MD (d. 1995) and many of his former patients still go out of their way to tell me things like, "I'd gone to this other doc for years about my ulcer, then your Dad told me to mix a packet of gelatin with water, go to bed at a regular time, and you know what?"... And since I have no fear that any of the docs from my former hometown will happen upon this site, I'll go on. Dad was basically drummed out of the Medical establishment at home, the local hospital even saw fit to remove his photo from "The Wall of Founders" and other types of stuff. It all started when he placed a DO on his clinic staff. Well, being a Republican might've contributed some too I guess. But I will say Dennis, just anecdotal here, after two years of statin use I sometimes have to refer to the card to get the correct password. I will also say that my statin use is not so regular as my docs would have it, meaning I only take them as prescribed, for the month leading up to my regularly scheduled physical. I think it will likely become even less regular. It seems you held your own.

While most of my commenters are sane, sympathetic, and make worthwhile criticisms, I've had a few over the years that immediately resort to insults and personal attacks. But that first doctor must take the cake as the most arrogant, insulting, condescending commenter it's ever been my displeasure to host. Malcolm, thanks, and JK, my pleasure, glad you visit.

Usually my need to comment turns out unnecessary because some other "idiot" asks the question for me. By the way Dennis, should you happen upon this comment, consider it a "Thanks from Afar."
