Contributing Member Regis Posted April 23, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted April 23, 2008 Will I live to be 80? Sometimes you just have to ask yourself ' Will I live to be 80?' I recently chose a new primary care physician. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' 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 alcoholic beverages?' 'No,' I replied. 'I don't do drugs, either' Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?' I said, 'No, my other doctor said that all red meat is unhealthy!' 'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, fishing or relaxing on the beach?' 'No, I don't,' I said. He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?' 'No,' I said. 'I don't do any of those things.' Then he looked at me and asked, 'Then why do you give a %$#@&*?' Quote

Members Thom Posted May 15, 2008 Members Report Posted May 15, 2008 Hi Regis, Think I'll switch to your doc. Mine asked me: "How many people do you know over 70 that weigh 200 pounds or more?" I guess I have four years left to find out. Thom Quote
