That is so funny. I told my doctor a while back that I wanted to get off the water pill and get on Losartan (ACE-2 inhib) for protection against COVID and gave him the literature. I also told him that testing for cholesterol after someone has participated in heavy exercise will throw their cholesterol numbers off (Inflammation). Monday I told him that one of the doctors in his practice prescribed Paxlovid almost 2 weeks out from initial symptoms for COVID when it is only to be prescribed 5 days out. Then he asked me if I wanted to be in an asthma study for new medication. I just about fell off my chair. WHAT about me makes him think I want to be the guinea pig for any pharmaceutical company? We have gotten into fairly pointed conversations about the relationship between pharma reps (that I practically trip over every time I go to the doc ) and the doctor almost every time I am in for the past 3 years. I had a few words for him and told him about NAC. Honestly I think they are too busy to be well informed. Sad.
