Pdude. I assume Dr Bhatt thought the conversation between you and him would be private ...ie between " colleague s" since you are a pharmacist ...ie qualified to dispense drugs .

I doubt he would appreciate you sharing his comments on social media . Anyone doing a deep google search is likely to find your quote .

Regarding why doesn't Kaiser prescribe more for secondary prevention .
This might have something to do with it ...the Vascepa PDF

Bleeding: VASCEPA was associated with an increased risk of bleeding in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The incidence of bleeding was greater in patients receiving concomitant antithrombotic medications, such as aspirin, clopidogrel, or warfarin. (5.3)



I have several friends who have had MI's. When asked why their Cardiologists ( including a Kaiser Cardiologist) did not add Vascepa to max Statin dose ....they said it was because they were also now on Warfarin and their TG's were below 135 mg/dl on their optimal statin dose
