The PA wanted to prescribe statins before she asked me anything! I told her I would not take them. I hadn't been to this office in 2 years because of insurance change. I told her I wanted to try diet and exercise, she said, "you tried that two years ago and it's not working"! We were arguing about whether or not I should take these pills. She really tried to convince me that I was on the verge of having a heart attack at any moment.So she prescribed Zetia and Lovaza, anyone had any experiences with these?
I asked her about my blood sugars, she said "your FBS was 98, no problem you are not diabetic. I told her that 98 was a one day result, I wanted my HGA1C results because that would give me an average over the past ninety days including my holiday binge. She told me they only order that test for Diabetic and since I wasn't one they didn't order it.
I explained to her that my Dad lost two limbs, half a hand, his eyesight and ultimately his life to complications of diabetes she ordered the A1c.
I think I'll be looking for a new Primary. Thanks for letting me blow
