[QUOTE="mrspuddleduck, post: 891992"] Hi. Please don't let this appalling woman's attitude further put you off getting the care you are entitled to!!!! (I refuse to call her a doctor!!). Is there another GP at the practice than you can go and talk to? If there isn't I would consider changing GPs, its actually really easy to do. Before you can make a proper decision about whether to take the statins, you really need to know what your results were, and why the doctor is deciding to prescribe them before exploring other ways of lowering your cholesterol levels. The GP may actually have a valid reason for prescribing them or may just be taking the easy route (for her not you). Whichever, you have a right to know and choose what happens to your body, and you can't make that choice unless you are given the information and reasons for their decisions. But please don't just leave it, you need to look after yourself even if that idiot doctor didn't!!!! Sue xxxxx [/QUOTE]
