I recently had to choose a new primary care doctor. After two visits and
exhaustive lab tests, she said I was doing fairly well for my age.(I am past seventy).
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking her, 'Do
you think I'll live to be 80?'
She asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?'
Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'
Then she 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.
She asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'
'No,' I said......... She looked at me and said, 'Then, why do you even care?
