Dr. Aseem Malhotra

Now, I get it.

People may want to know, and if that's what they want to know, that's fine.

But, you know, and we'll come on to management as well.

If you're not going to add in a statin or whatever else, then okay, maybe those people need to be more extreme in the lifestyle.

Maybe that's a reason to do it, saying you need to be like, instead of meditating for 30 minutes a day, I want you to meditate for an hour, right?

No, fine.

I mean, maybe that's the best we're going to offer them, right?

Yeah, yeah.

To keep the risk down.

So we've got to just be a little bit careful about how we...

about ordering these tests, but thinking a little bit more about, okay, is it going to change anything?

And am I just going to give this patient unnecessary extra anxiety?

And listen, I'm a doctor.

Doctors are the worst patients.

I probably have, partly because my dad was the same, I have moments of being a hypochondriac.

And I know on the receiving end, like, you know, tests that are done that didn't need to be done.

And now I'm like, okay, what does this mean?

And you're going down a rabbit hole.

So you've got to think about that as well, right?

In terms of if you haven't got a clear solution, then don't order the test.
