"Will I Live to See 90?"
Here's something to think about. I recently picked a new primary care doctor.
After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing ‘fairly well' for my age. (I just turned "eighty").
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 90?'
He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?' ||| '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!’
He asked 'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?' ||| 'No, I don't,’ I said.
He asked, ‘Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lots of sex?’ ||| 'No,' I said.
He looked at me and said, 'Then, why do you even give a $#!+?'
