This sounds so much more reasonable....I know the protocols dictate what is best for the "majority" of cases, but sometimes I can't help but wonder if drs. prescribe this stuff b/c it IS protocol and they don't want to get sued, also they do get perks from the drug companies at least in the US. How does it work in other countries?

There is no liability if they are following protocol. But there is also no liability if we decline blood thinners. I declined for 4 years and then the scoring system changed! And then the cardiologist told me they had been overmedicating and I had been right to decline. But he was annoyed with me that whole time. Too bad!
