Don’t tell your doc ! /-)
My doc said “ your cholesterol numbers are getting high , I’m going to give you a prescription for statins”
I asked if the numbers were in the danger zone and he said no but we need to keep them from rising anymore. I asked if I could lower them through diet changes and he said no. So he gave me the prescription, I went home and threw the script in the trash. Started eating oatmeal alot more and less store bought burritos and fast food, switched from margarine to real butter , ate more eggs.
After my next blood panel at my next doc apt my doc says good news the statins are working your numbers are down !
I tell him I never filled the script, never took the statins, just changed my diet.
He said nothing but I could see he was pissed that little old lowbrow me proved the PhD doc was wrong about diet.
He has been slightly hostile ever since /-)
Guess I’m now pegged as a “ settled science denier “ now /-).
Just wait till he tries to get me to take his fda shamfest approved covid DNA hatchet shot, probably a one way ticket to wherever they are planning to execute us at.
Good for you....but my story is the opposite. Doc said try changing my diet, all that and numbers didn’t budge. Now 1 pill per day and I eat what I want.
Heredity can be a b*tch. But there’s lots of good with a little bad so I’m still a lucky guy.
I will state the obvious here...dump that moron and find another doctor.
I learned a long time ago that just because someone has a degree that reads "Doctor" doesn't make him/her a doctor.
There are levels and levels, just like artists.
To become a good doctor, one has to master two things: the knowledge, and the practice. Two very different things.
