It's All In Your Head, Madam


Imagine how surprised I was to learn that "Doctors dismiss patients' concerns." NOT!


The article in today's Sun speaks mostly of the rotten side effects of statin drugs (Lipitor, Zocar)taken to lower cholesterol in heart patients.


I have had, let's see, a cardiologist, a G.P. and a stress test technician all tell me, in response to my complaints of muscle pain and other side effects, that I am "a very sensitive person with a vivid imagination."


While that reading of my lovely personality may bear some truth, it is amazing how they are all reading from the same script.


Does Big Pharma provide these crib notes along with the free samples and the golf excursions to the Caribbean?
