[AT] O. T. - Really tired today

[David Bruce]

Some Dr's think the lower the cholesterol the better - regardless of the 
level and that ALL adults should be taking a statin. My Dr is not quite 
so strident but he is being pushed to write more scripts for statins. My 
levels are well below the maximum values (actually close to the minimums 
so when I bucked the idea he backed off.
