    She listened to my questions and concerns with full knowledge of history from my chart. She supported my choice to try a statin that had fewer negative side effects, even though it might not bring down LDL cholesterol as much as other drugs with more negative side effects. She agreed that if I could tolerate the statin, we could track it's efficacy. I appreciate her not pushing me toward more effective statins (but worse side effects) right off the bat. I feel like my concerns made sense and felt validated. Thank you.
