MEDICAL THOUGHTS

I recently picked a new primary care doctor.
After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said
I was doing 'fairly well'.
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't
resist asking, '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 like playing golf,
sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'
'No, I don't,' I said.
He asked, 'Do you party with friends, drive fast cars,
travel alot, or have a lot of sex?'
'No,' I said.
He looked at me and said,
'Then, why do you even give a shit??'
