They sure didn't like me asking then reasking questions until I got more than their standard response. I looked at the common side effects of Statins and Beta Blockers, for example, and asked why I'd need those. I was told THEY WERE CRUCIAL or I'd be, quote: "Back in the hospital, right where you started"! <end quote>. Think about that particular comment for a second...Those two meds were a hard pass for me. Even their "Baby Aspirin", which used to be pink, didn't get my seal of approval. So, 3 for 3 that I wouldn't be taking..

As my last physical was in the Fall of 1973, they were rather confused but faced with the truth when I said I had no family Doctor. And of course, no history or trail of meds either. I did have a Nurse (??), I guess she was, )again no badges or uniforms) say: "Now, we know you are diabetic"... that was somewhat alarming because I'm not. So...who's chart were they reading? Maybe if a patient doesn't have a medical history in their system, the software simply autofills.
Surgery was required. But the aftercare left lots to be desired. At least in my experiences. Drugs, drugs and more drugs and, well, that was about it.
I've read that North America is the most heavily "medicated" on the planet. It is also the sickest. Hmmmmm...anyone sensing a pattern here??

Exactly ,, money talks BS walks to them ..
they shoved statins on me in the hospital I had no idea until the day of discharge and asked the nurse what one of the final pills was .. She said a statin ,,, I say my numbers are documented for cholesterol and she called someone and didn’t give it to me .. They had already put a script for it to my pharmacy and noting that statins are a med you should seen off I picked it up .. Called my Primary and they said you have to take it .. I told them no I don’t and decided that we will talk about it on my appointment .. The primary said take it , I sad no .. so the primary said cut in in half then till the next 3 month appointment.. ok Weening off .. took half for 2 weeks and researched statins and that High dose niacin is a script for treatment of cholesterol… so I cut the half and took 1/4 pill for a week and stopped the statin .then I bought 500mg niacin ( no flush type) and took 1000mg twice a day and now take one 500mg if I eat food with high cholesterol in it , steaks burgers, Pizza blah blah etc . I follow my labs and cholesterol LDL and triglycerides are and have always been great .. My problem is a low HDL AND NOT A SINGLE DOCTOR CAN TELL ME HOW TO RAISE IT ! Was told exercise and eat purple foods lol ….
My cardiologist labs from yesterday came in and nothing is out of spec.. Waiting now for the labs from the primaries referral which covers more things … I base my diet on labs mostly but cheat because I want to … Heading to get some butter pecan ice cream and M&M’s and my favorite FEEL LIKE A NUT ALMOND JOY LOL .. BURGER MEAT THAWING AS I type .. cheese burger in Paradise hahaha
 
Basically I’ve become my own doctor .. Now give me a full authorization to prescribe my own meds and Im good ..

And making themselves rich .. Auto mechanics should hit them on the bill like the medical crooks hit people .. Same with Golf course maintenance crews.
