However, I am concerned with the overall tone of the article, which
almost conveys a sense of immorality on the part of the responsible
physician with health problems. For example, if an experienced
internist cannot look at a simple lipid profile and make a
determination, based on what he or she knows of the patient's
lifestyle and diet, whether medical therapy would be appropriate, then
what business does he or she have seeing patients with this problem? If
the physician has hyperlipidemia, what objectivity is lost in looking
at a simple laboratory report?
