Located in a small town outside Korat. Will have to see what sort of specialists are available in the big city. If the LDL was by direct method it is most likely on the lab result as "direct method". My ldl was elvated (160) on my last test 2 weeks ago. Dr suggested statins, but I'm holding off to see if I can reduce it over the next 4 months. 6 months ago I had it checked at another holsipal (at a time I was talking more care with eting, and the direct method had it below 130 (forgot the actual value).

daveAustin Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 You dared to question/push the doctor so they essentially relieved themselves of you. It happens. I hope you didn’t call them honey-bunny, too. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not interested in their advice, they're not going to spend time trying to convince you why they want to do it their way or explain, they'll just do what you want, let you walk out the door feeling smug, and try and end the consultation as soon as possible. They have a list of 30 other people to see usually and they're probably already behind, just not worth the effort.
