Does doctor still know best? | Australian cardiologists

Does doctor still know best? | Australian cardiologists: "Are Professor MacMahon and the other cardiovascular researchers and clinicians who have called the article “sensationalist” and “hysterical” saying that it is hysterical or sensationalist to suggest that people at low-risk of heart disease should reconsider their use of statins? I would say that position is mainstream, and a conservative approach.

It’s also worth pointing out that sometimes, as in the case of this Medical Observer article, the criticisms are made without the speakers declaring their links to pharmaceutical companies that produce lipid-lowering medications."
