Will I Live to see 80 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 60.) 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, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?' He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, play loud rock and roll, or have a lot of sex?' He paused, looked at me, and then said... 'Then, why do you even give a sh i t?' |
