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.
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do
you think I'll live to be 75?'
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, barbecued ribs or sausage?'
I said, 'No, 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,
hiking, or bicycling?' 'No, I don't,' I said.
He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast healeys', ride a BSA, or have a lot of
sex?' 'No,' I said.
He looked at me and said,
'And you want to live to 75, WHY??
