Always good to ask. My new PCP recently ordered (via my mail order) a statin for cholesterol, one that my PCP 7 years ago stopped and that my last PCP didn't think was ideal for my barely high cholesterol. Last week I asked my new cardiologist about it and he said HELL NO, my overall heart risk factor from cholesterol (or something or other) was only 8%, so not to do it. I feel I have offended some doctors for questioning Heart/Neuropathy/Liver or drug interaction risks, but I've had several reversal of decisions, or admissions they need to get another opinion because they weren't sure, so I think we have to help them (and mostly ourselves) out sometimes since we one of the very many patients they have and we know the time constraints they have that adds risk to them not being able to do the deep dive on us for every (sometimes) quick decision or idea they may have. We're partners with them, not adversaries.
