Will I Live to see 85?
I recently had to choose a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, she said I was doing
fairly well for my age. (I am almost seventy).
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking her, 'Do you think I'll live to be 85?
She asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?
'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!
Then she 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, boating, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?
'No, I don't,' I said.
She asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?
'No,' I said
She looked at me and said, 'Then, why do you even give a ****?'
