[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 544563, member: 13582"] Well there is a financial incentive to prescribe certain drugs (such as statins) to meet the targets imposed upon GPs. Personally, I don't think any GP would deliberately do something that they thought would cause harm, but they are stuck in a state of cognitive dissonance. Everyone 'knows' that virtually no one gets side effects from statins (see above) and here is a patient presenting with side effects - what to do? Well, nothing it's all in their heads because statins virtually never cause side effects and so the parade continues. Best Dillinger [/QUOTE]
