Question for Robert

I have a scenario for you to consider.

You are a doctor (GP).

You have a new patient named Patty Ann that tells you that one of her
parents and one of her grandparents developed Parkinson's disease when
they were about 50 years old. Patty is 35 years old and has high chol.
levels.
Patty Ann does not have Parkinson's disease.

Would you prescribe a statin for Patty Ann?
