Too many docs are handing this stuff out with little thought to the side effects.
Worse than that, is that the system is so badly broken that given the “standard of care” rule, if a doctor prescribes a statin to some one with a total cholesterol of 201 he is 100% covered, if it harms the patient he is covered, if the patient has a heart attack he is covered, on-the-other-hand, if he fails to prescribe it he damn well better be ready to explain himself in court if anything bad happens to that patient.
