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.


Lockjaw. I hear you! What Americans are now experiencing is the effects of Obama Care. Oh we just swept it under the carpet as we were being called racists to distract us from what they were doing. Now it is in full effect. I must tell you my friend, all medications have side effects. You just have to work with your doctor to find the statin and blood pressure meds that work for you! It is tiring, frustrating and a pain in the ass. But now that we have let the dems socialize medicine, we are all going to have to work harder to get good care. Most doctors are overworked and makes no less money for doing more work and they are starting to care a little less whether they realize it or not! Hang in there brother. Your family and friends need you!
