Medicare provides for a yearly 'wellness' visit and I make use of it. I 
get along well with my doctor. She must have slept through Drug Pushing 
101 in med school. There is a form to determine if a person would benefit 
from statins and according to her the answer is always 'yes'. She would 
prescribe them if I asked her to but it's not the default. At times she 
can be cynical abut her profession.

I would prefer to blow my heart out on a steep mountain trail and become 
food for the bears to some long drawn out affair where 'medical science' 
tries to put off the inevitable.
