I recently picked a new primary care doctor.
After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, she said I was doing fairly well for my age. (I am over 50)
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 and bicycling?
''No, I don't,' I said.
She asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have frequent wild sex?
''Oh, no,' I said.
She looked at me and said, 'Then, why do you even give a crap?'???
