They spend more time looking at the computer than doctoring.

Cholesterol numbers were lowered in 2013. Statins have side effects. Muscle pain, neurological issues, digestive issues, feeling tired. Guess what BP meds do, make you tired too.

I already have pain from a wreck, I don't want more, I want less. It's exhausting. Then add meds that .ake me more tired, no thanks. I have neurological issues too. Don't need to compound that. You'd think a doctor would know that they have my chart.

I honestly believe they get docked if my numbers aren't where corporate health cares deems they need to be.


I thought it was pretty nice of BigBore to come on here and take the time to give us his professional opinion as a trusted ALDeer member. I personally am listening to him.

This is half joking/half serious - you seem to have a lot of run-ins/conflicts with folks. (At least by the stories you post). You didn’t ask me my opinion, but dang give folks the benefit of the doubt at times
