(Here's something
to think about.)
I recently had to choose a new
primary care doctor. After two
visits and exhaustive lab tests,
he said I was doing fairly well for
my age.(I am way past seventy).
A little concerned about that
comment, I couldn't resist asking
him, 'Do you think I'll live to be
80?'
He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or
drink beer, wine or hard liquor?'
'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing
drugs, either!'
Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye
steaks and barbecued ribs?'
'I said, 'Not much... My former
doctor said that all red meat is
very unhealthy!'
'Do you spend a lot of time in the
sun, like playing golf, boating,
sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'
'No, I don't,' I said.
He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast
cars, or have a lot of sex?'
'No,' I said.........He looked at me
and said, 'Then, why do you even
care?'
