At a standard doctor's visit last year, the doctor wannabe (20-something intern) gave me the "uh-oh!" over the fact that my total cholesterol was 193. I then gave her the "bite me" by pointing out my triglicerides were stellar and my LDL:HDL ratio was 1.9 so I'm the bomb. I wanted to reach over and slap her. Seems most MDs are clueless on cholesterol. That and bought out by the drug manufacturers.
