I think I mentioned this before but my doctor tried to use her fancy computer program to "show" me I was hastening my death by not using statins. I have always had high cholesterol and NOW borderline high blood pressure but 20 points lower than when I was working. Well, her fancy program showed I have a normal less than 5% chance of death in the next 10 years and since I am 64, not unexpected. Popped her bubble.

I also pointed out that my heart scan ($49 at local hospital) showed ZERO plaque built up. I am with pinkytoe and am very resistant to any pharma (except for my amazing asthma medication which I need for breathing).
