I recently picked a new primary care doctor.
After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing "fairlywell" for my age.
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 or wine?"
"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, playing golf, 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 give a shit?"
Thanks to Chris for this.
