Guest guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 I recently picked 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 alcohol? " " Oh no, " I replied. " I don't do other 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 very unhealthy! " " Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, fishing 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. " I don't do any of those things. " He looked at me and said, " Then why do you give a crap?
