Seems reasonable to me - just because they are going to the CPD doesnt mean they will be taking it in or applying it to their practice...... my friend was going to a doctor who was over 70 (the same doctor had delivered him in 1965), said doctor routinely gave antibiotics for colds, had never tested his cholesterol despite his mother having died of a heart attack at 55 etc etc
I finaly convinced him to see my doctor..... his cholesterol was 4 times the normal upper limit.
