Hopefully, one patient will say, "yeah, my doctor kept telling me to quit smoking/excercise more/ eat less etc. " so I finally did it. This has happened on rare occassions and can be quite rewarding but they are so few and far between it gets frustrating sometimes.
Hey everyone

I reckon it's just great since cb came on to BFs. Good advice, right there from a qualified practitioner. A greeat asset for us all, cb.

Anyway, I'll take on board what you say about the cholesterol. Pravachol was the prescribed drug.

However, as to the quote above... a long time ago, a GP said to me: There is a certain inevitability about smoking. It will kill you in the long run." It almost did some 15 years later. So chalk me up as someone who finally did listen to the doctor and his body.
