That indeed is ridiculous! I just wrote my (long) story, at the end also about a prescription I didn't need; two kinds of medication to lower my blood pressure that was not just high, it was fluctuating after a serious incident causing stress (and having had hypothermia because I had fainted and fell, laying a while in the cold), one of them was a beta-blocker.
Just take away the source (stress and get over what happened), no she said... just take the medication, it is dangerous when you have high blood pressure. I asked if it wouldn't be more dangerous to take medication for high pressure while also having long episodes of real low blood pressure as it was fluctuating. No answer.
Once I had a nasty wound and needed to go get it treated; they wanted me to take a mammography. For what? I asked. Just in case. It was a cut, a nasty embracing of a bush with thorns, I don't need a mammography for that. Yes but what if you may also have a breast-tumor,about you don't know, you never know... I was like: really? Thanked for the treatment of the cut and walked away.
I’m sorry. That’s ridiculous.
What's ridiculous? My doctors' nostrums or my telling of it?
Not LDT, but I read them as saying that it's ridiculous that you were still prescribed a statin after reducing your cholesterol.
You being prescribed something you don’t need.
