MARCO Grand Rounds for April 13, 2014

From Warren, KD4GUA:

This Sunday we are going to discuss STATIN DRUGS.   At a recent Hospital Conference the newer cholesterol lowered drugs known as PCSK9 inhibitors which are still in clinical trials were reviewed.  They are showing promise but must be injected once or twice a month.

Jim K4JWA suggested reading the book "THE LAST WELL PERSON. How to stay well despite the Health-Care System," by Nortin Hadler M.D.   I bought a used version from Amazon.com for about 4 dollars and just can't put it down!!!!  The book is logical and not flim flam, the author went to Harvard  and is a Professor at the Univ. of N.C. at Chapel Hill.  We will throw some of his ideas into the discussion Sunday.
