bfost...

Thanks for the input..

I guess I do think things will happen faster than you do...As far as statin acceptance keep in mind that in the old days if your TC wasn't over 300 then you were considered normal...Over the years the upper limits of normal keep going lower and lower..I was 65 yo when I got my first cholesterol back. Now my PCP tells me she gets points off her score if she doesn't write me a script. I take the script, but I don't do the statin...I played golf yesterday and shot 76 (a great round for me)...

IMO Vascepa will catch on right away. We are in the internet era, the social media time...When I think about statins..I don't think about them increasing the the chance of surviving a heart attack..Frankly...There may be trials that prove they do...I just don't remember any of them. Maybe West of Scotland...But I don't believe for a second that that trial was legit..

Lawyers are going to oversee what happens after the AHA and the NEJM...You are a clinician and ask yourself if you are going to prescribe...I would not be worried about the paperwork..The insurance companies are going to be behind this as will be the government medical agencies as this is going cut medical costs...This is the real issue Amarin needs to get behind...
