pullinbig said:i am not taking sides on the steroid debate but the cardiologist (a well respected cardiologist) who first saw me told me the juice caused my high cholestrol that had clogged my arteries and led to my heart attack. guess he aint as smart as he thought he was. let me rephrase, cholesterol 176, triglecerides 126, and 0% blockages in any arteries surrouinding the heart.
Mudge said:You know as well as I do that total cholesterol doesn't tell the whole story.
Glad you are ok though!! Hang in there.
you would look good in the 220 classpullinbig said:the ratio was fine, could be better but in normal range. triglecerides 126. arteries clear as a bell.
still planning on leaning out some more and already increased cardio drastically.
thanks everyone.

Although I don't know exaclty what happened it would be hard to say that the standard of care he received was below par.
Last it is hard to find a good lawyer for malpractice. Reason it costs a lot to try a malpractice case and not many lawyers are willing to risk losing all that money with a case that is not A.) Going to net them serious $$$ B.) Is a shoe in to win.
My dad was sued on a bad baby case (did nothing wrong) and the other side ended up losing. It put 2 lawyers out of business-
Also just to give you an example of a misdiagnosis----Most of you know I broke my hand (farily bad) and 2 doctors and 2 radiologists missed the fracture (Ray Charles could have seen it -) and I went around for 3 1/2 weeks using what I was told was a sprained finger.
I had several lawyers tell me that it was not worth their time.
So with all that crap and hijacking pullinbigs thread----
I'M GLAD TO SEE YOUR ALRIGHT!!!!!
