Health and Lifestyle?

[Woodznutz]

Has your doctor ever discussed your "health and lifestyle" with you?

I heard the Unit doctor tell a convict (a pussy boy) with a raging case of hemorrhoids to quit taking it up the ass. I guess that counts.

The silence is...deafening.

Any good doctor does

I have an "issue" with my heart that has for many decades made my doctors believe that I had a significant heart problem. Both my PCP and my cardiologist told me to be cautious about exercise. When I would tell them that I'm a runner and bicyclist they would neither encourage nor discourage those activities. In fact, they couldn't understand how I could be a runner and/or a bicyclist with my defective heart.

Eventually though, an angiogram revealed that I DO NOT have a heart problem, but rather my left ventricle has an unusual shape that results in a sketchy looking EKG. Now, at 75, they encourage me to "keep it up" because whatever I'm doing seems to be keeping me above ground.

Yeah. Colonoscopy and semi-annual dermatologist exams are all I've had in the way of doctor visits the last couple of years. They both talked with me some about that.
