Between Christmas and New Year's, just a little while ago, he needed to go to the hospital because of angina. He stayed there five days and underwent angioplasty.
During the time he was in the hospital, I got a call from a physician we know somewhat socially. I went to this guy once and didn't go back. I found him ignorant about nutrition... I was found to be diabetic. He told me I ought to go on Slim-Fast. Ugh!!!
Anyway, we were chatting a little bit, and he says that although he knows I don't approve of taking statin drugs... if I were to influence my significant other to not take statins, I would basically be helping to dig his grave! Can you believe that? There is plenty of stuff out there to make one hesitate about taking statin drugs!
I told him that I didn't have time to argue with him and that I had to work, and got off the phone. The more I thought about it, the madder I got. I felt extremely insulted, and gratuitously so... neither of us is a patient of this guy.
I wrote him a really nasty e-mail telling him where to get off. My significant other felt like I put him in the middle, but I told him that anyone else who insulted me was gonna get the same treatment!
