[QUOTE="sanguine, post: 707309, member: 101256"] Interesting and thanks for posting. I looked up the Hippocratic Oath the other day and noticed the 'do no harm' or its equivalent. Through carelessness or following the money that seems to have taken a back seat with respect to statins at least. More and more we have to be proactive. My wife knows of several cases where GPs have prescribed something without even looking up what else the patient is on, let alone knowing if there is any potential conflict. Often it it the pharmacist in Boots who notices and says "you can't take this if you're already on that". The impression is that we are now a society where health care is subservient to drug dependency, both on the part of patients and on the manufacturers and prescribers of those drugs. It's quick, it's profitable and in the majority of cases the rationale and wisdom are left unquestioned. [/QUOTE]
