My GP is a pill pusher and told me, as he had done on previous unrelated matters, that 'statistically you will live longer if you take them'. I told him I would prefer a specific medical reason and not a statistical chance. The stats argument is circular. If you give people pills who don't need the pills, you skew the stats.So he weighed me, measured my waist and said lets see what the blood tests show in 3 months with a sort of 'there'll be no improvement' type sneer. I have yet to tell him that he hasn't actually told me what type of diabetes I have, just that I have it. It's real tick box healthcare, you've got diabetes, here's the information pack, sign this form and take these pills. Next please.</blockquote>
