HMc,
Since you are a doctor, I hope that you can explain why GPs do not
conduct serum creatinine and CPK isoenzymes tests to make sure their
patients that take statins are not developing Rhabdomyolysis?
The reason that I ask that question is because I read an article
that was written by the wife of a man that developed Rhabdo. as
a direct result of taking statins. If two blood tests could help
keep almost anyone that is taking statins from developing that
terrible disease--don't you think that medical protocol should be
changed so that any doctor that prescribes statins should have to
sceen for Rhabdo.?



No, I can't explain that, nor do I have any knowledge of it. All I do is
surgery. I have never written a single prescription for any kind of statin
in my life, nor do I read about them, nor do I spend any time talking to
drug reps.
