[QUOTE="fergus, post: 14850, member: 6150"] And another thing! I was talking with a doctor friend on Sunday. We got onto the subject of statins, as you do. :) He told me that a contemporary of his, who runs a medical practice, said his practice would not survive but for the income it received from prescribing statins. The statins were on the market at 80p a pop, but the cost to the NHS was £8. Maybe we shouldn't be too surprised that they want to prescribe them for everyone, despite their questionable benefits and commonly reported side effects? All the best, fergus [/QUOTE]
