A friend of mine recently picked a new primary care doctor.
After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, the doctor said he was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I had just turned "seventy-five"). A little concerned about that comment, my buddy couldn't resist asking him,
'Do you think I'll live to be 80?'
The doctor asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?
'Only occasionally,' he replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'
Then the doctor asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?
'IHe 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,' he said.
He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lots of sex?'
'No,' he said.
he doctor paused, looked at me and said, 'Then, why do you even give a shit?'
