Vytorin controversy confuses patients, doctors

Vytorin controversy confuses patients, doctors

This Headline says it all.

FDA approves the DRUG. NCEP sets up guidelines for Target LDL and the whole country starts popping pills to lower Cholesterol levels. DRUG companies make money , INSURERS raise premiums and SUCKERS stay in CORPORATE or GOVT/UNION jobs which provide Health Insurance to pay to LOWER CHOLESTEROLS.

END RESULT : WHO KNOWS !!!!!!!!!!!

Doctors treat CHOLESTEROL numbers like COPS treat SPEED LIMITS. Any thing slightly high, You get a TICKET ( I mean STATIN prescription) irrespective of risk profile of cholesterol or medicines required.
