Keeping Faith With Patients After Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack

I recently recommended statin therapy to a 68-year-old patient, explaining that it would reduce his risk of a major coronary event or stroke in the next 10 years from 18% to 15%. He asked, “But how will we know if it works?” I confessed we never would because success would be an uneventful walk through good health. He was not sold.
