At one stage we could only see a doctor if the receptionist permitted it. Since PCTs went away they seem to have changed the Rules. Well changed them back, at one time the surgery was excellent, then it became rather less than mediocre. Obviously patient health was too expensive to bother with.<br /><br />Well except for handing out statins like candy of course.<br />chris cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-90790661558988234302016-03-27T21:47:17.058+01:002016-03-27T21:47:17.058+01:00Your lucky in a way Chris as you already know my c...Your lucky in a way Chris as you already know my cholesterol test is limited to total and HDL, seems that the criteria for statin prescribing has now shifted away from LDL at least as far as my surgery goesLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-16593491987975744222016-03-27T21:27:37.857+01:002016-03-27T21:27:37.857+01:00If alive then prescribe statin
simple!
Think abo...If alive then prescribe statin<br /><br />simple!<br /><br />Think about it, if they spent the money on tests how could they afford the statins?<br /><br />Strangely the lab my doctor used to use actually measured LDL- usually it is calculated and the calculation is thrown off by low trigs - currently the lab has gone back to calculated LDL probably because the kit is cheaper.<br /><br />I suspect the rationale is that everyone will have high trigs if they eat high carb low fat, and if they don't they don't deserve treatment.chris cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600659484694637338.post-47923270153757220302016-03-25T22:42:46.117+00:002016-03-25T22:42:46.117+00:00chris c said...
