My main problem is the 'Doctors' who can't read a cholesterol test
correctly.  It's been 6 months and time for BP refills so have to go
in.  Wanna bet I get that callback ;oh you have to come in'.  My HDL
(good stuff) is well above 50 and my LDL (bad stuff) is well under 50.
The problem is the HDL is really high so it breaks the metrics they are
used to.
