Myasnikov warned people who do not take statins that they could become paralyzed.
Doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov addressed one category of people with a warning that they could become paralyzed.
According to the doctor, the risk of becoming paralyzed exists for people who do not take the statins prescribed by their doctor. "Do you want to die three years earlier? Go ahead. Do you want to lie for 10 years, wearing diapers, paralyzed? Then go ahead. It's your problem and your family's," Myasnikov predicted.
He also added that doctors prescribe medications that lower cholesterol levels because they want their patients to live longer.
