      doc: we usually don’t even order a cholesterol test for a healthy person your age me: but isn’t there a lot of evidence that heart disease usually starts when you’re quite young? doc: yeah but we wouldn’t put you on meds at this age me: what abt diet & lifestyle changes? doc: 🤨

      I had the same thing when I asked my doc for some more specific bloodwork to see if I could optimize anything to reduce my chances of any problems down the road. Basically, come back when you're sick, we're not in the prevention business, is the message I got... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      @nikillinit do you have a take on advanced lipid cholesterol test vs standard? Getting test either way, but always have to push for the lipid (particle size, apo b). As @juliey4 said it’s about diet and lifestyle changes, not procedures.

      Imagine telling a mechanic you will pay for a specific test on your car and they say naaah. Or pay the plumber to inspect your boiler “nope, it checked out last year so…” but the blood in your body, how dare you?

      This is not the same and why analogies are not a good way to think about this. There are global costs/issues borne out societally that is downstream of these decisions (in the form of low value procedures that get covered by insurance and then spread across beneficiaries)

      early detection very rarely leads to better outcomes outside of a narrow set of conditions heart disease is the least of which

          Are you suggesting the lipid test would not more accurately inform my decision to make or not make diet and lifestyle changes? Or that the even the dr prescribed simple test is unnecessary? After typing I realize you can’t be case specific.
