That's quite right.  I listen to my doctor and to the
articles---my doctor does read the articles too, after all, which
also makes up good conversation.  Of course, how we choose a
doctor and how we listen is where it's at.  Incompetence is
ubiquitous these days.

 
My main problem is the 'Doctors' who can't read a cholesterol test
correctly.  It's been 6 months and time for BP refills so have to go
in.  Wanna bet I get that callback ;oh you have to come in'.  My HDL
(good stuff) is well above 50 and my LDL (bad stuff) is well under
50.  The problem is the HDL is really high so it breaks the metrics
they are used to.

 
 
My cholesterol level was fine before I went for an angiogram  that
revealed almost complete blockage of my left main coronary artery and
then emergency bypass. Thanks to that "incident" the target level
dropped

Don had the little camera job to check for that.  Cleaner than a
35yo's.  Doctor asked aout his diet and laughed.  We actually mostly
eat as recommended.  CV issues don't run in my family on either side.
We typically make it to our 90's and die of something else.
