Uncle had stents and a pacemaker for over 10 years. Been on cholesterol meds. Cholesterol was always under 150. Had blockages again and got a quad bypass last summer. He asked the surgeon, "how'd I get blockages with low cholesterol and being on statins?" Doc said, " That only works about 2% of the time". Ugh!

Trust your doctor, he cares about you not the money..../sarcasm
