TweetThese drug companies keep track of how many and what prescriptions these doctors write and pay the doctors handsomely, sometimes its secret, under the table payments or fancy dinners and trips for their family to Europe. Ski trips to Aspen, luxury box seats at NFL football games, etc etc.... All for prescribing more drugs to more unsuspecting people. Im not sure how much big pharma makes on statins, but its somewhere around 50 billion + a year if irc. Its a huge f****ing scam

what makes it even more fucked up with statins is that once you start taking them you have to take them in some form for life. it is kind of like test shutting you down when you use it but with statins it messes with your bodies ability to properly clear lipids once you start. their is no coming back with statins like hormones though. the docs fail to mention that. same with hair loss dht blockers. they fail to let people know that it can make mr happy never work again and it doesnt come back. even if it is a 1-1k chance, i still want to know that it is possible personally since that's kind of a huge issue to me
