Here’s something to think about.
I recently picked a new primary care doctor.
After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing
‘fairly well’ for my age. (I just turned 75).
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 lots of sex?’
‘No,’ I said…
He looked at me and said, ‘Then, why do you give a hits?’
