 Medicare provides for a yearly 'wellness' visit and I make use of it. I
get along well with my doctor. She must have slept through Drug Pushing
101 in med school. There is a form to determine if a person would benefit
from statins and according to her the answer is always 'yes'. She would
prescribe them if I asked her to but it's not the default. At times she
can be cynical abut her profession.
 I would prefer to blow my heart out on a steep mountain trail and become
food for the bears to some long drawn out affair where 'medical science'
tries to put off the inevitable.

   "Modern Med" has become a serious MESS. If you have

   "tests" and meds.
