By the way, doctor. I'm 72, with no history of heart trouble. But my cholesterol is in the 220s, and I have been taking Lipitor for three years. I am thinking about buying a home defibrillator, primarily for myself but also for any emergency (although my wife is 52 and in excellent health). What's your advice?
