Why even go see a PCP if you don't trust them?

Age, risk factors, are you obese etc. I am high risk as my dad died at 39 of mi. My cholesterol was always 185-225 basically no matter what I weighed 32-35 inch waist whole time, how much I worked out out etc. I took statins for years probably a decade and they helped a little maybe 10-20 percent max until I had complications. Ratio was worst. Triglycerides often hit 300

There is a new injection drug called Repatha came out about 3-5 years ago. Took right before covid hit. Definitely I’m in worst shape of my life but weight is down some.

My cholesterol is like 7-9, triglycerides are way under normal as well

I’m in my 23rd year of practicing law, but if someone came to me with a Chinese immigration matter I wouldn’t have a clue what to tell them.

Why do you think your average PCP actually understands lipidology?
