       My cardiologist told me to take a baby aspirin, 81mgs a day, and
       I told him I didn‘t want to, that it thins your blood out and
       who wants thin blood? I asked him, „do you want me to take it?“
       He said, „Yeah, I‘d really like you to take it. You probably
       have been watching too much TV (they had some story on TV
       recently on taking lose doses of aspirin daily for the heart and
       some people said it wasn’t good for you)“. I have to email him
       about that Lipitor cholesterol lowering pill they gave me. They
       gave me the maximum dose, 80mgs a day, when the lowest dose is
       10mgs a day. I’m going to email him and ask him why I can‘t just
       cut that pill in half. 40mgs a day should be enough I would
       think.
       I thought you are supposed to start with the lowest effective
       dose necessary to be effective and only increase it if
       necessary? Not the other was around. Start at the highest dose
       and go backwards ???.

       Why don't you let him play doctor and you play lawyer?  ;)

       Well, that is an idea, Jerry. :)
       You know what they say, never be a „Google, MD.“ It doesn’t work
       too well.
       I always liked the psychiatrists the most, because they give you
       all the feel-drugs anyway. That’s half the battle in life.
       Handling all this stress. So tranquilizers and sleep meds, like
       Ambien are great. But, the regular younger docs don‘t like
       giving those out too freely, so you have to be selective. Find
       one who started practicing in about 1971 or so when they were
       prescribing those like jelly beans. ;) Some psychiatrist pushing
       like 80? The only downside of that, is what if they up and die
       on you? Now you are kind of in trouble......Go to the young docs
       and they’ll refer you to some rehab clinic. Bummer.
       But, I know what you mean. So often I‘d had people in my office
       telling me stories about their uncle so-and-so in Ohio in 1977
       and he got the shaft in his divorce so they know all about
       divorces. And I‘m like „Ok. Well now let‘s return to planet
       earth and talk about sort of the reality of today?“
       That stuff drives me nuts and believe me I hear this ALL the
       time.    >:(
