My former cardiologist tried to prescribe cholesterol lowering drugs for me even though he’d never tested my cholesterol level. He just ‘thought’ I probably had high cholesterol.

LOL! Is that why he’s your “former” cardiologist? ;-)

If that actually happened he should be reported to your state's Medical Board. It is incumbent on you to do that.
