Nice Country Doctor piece. I should read him more often. I'm gonna send that link to my overmedicated parents. :-)
Love the piece on counting calories. And I'm glad you liked the internet friends link. ;)
Thanks for your support of "A Country Doctor Writes"
Its amazing to think I read articles in national geographic about how statins were a super drug, and cardiologists were self prescribing as a preventative. Shocking how these things backfire.
I enjoyed the country doctor link. And especially enjoyed the earlier post about the over 40 pregnant woman. Wonder why. :)
I have internet friends. I "met" four women on a job board back in around the late 90s. We moved to our own board, are now FB friends, and I've met 2 of the 4 in person.
Yep, I have internet friends too. :)
I thought the statin article(s) drove home a lot of useful concepts about our healthcare industry: how it's very consensus-driven; how pharma companies and doctors (sometimes) create and prescribe meds for "test-passing" rather than actual patient care, how once a treatment protocol is in place it's very hard to get rid of it. I never really thought about these industry drivers before.
Glad people found those articles useful!
