More from Ernie!<\/p>\n
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.
\nA little concerned about that comment, I couldn’t resist asking him, ‘Do you think I’ll live to be 80?’
\nHe asked, ‘Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?
\n”Oh no,’ I replied. ‘I’m not doing drugs, either!’ Then he asked, ‘Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?’
\nI said, ‘No, my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy! ‘
\nDo you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?’
\n‘No, I don’ t,’ I said.
\nHe asked, ‘Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?’
\n‘No,’ I said.
\nHe looked at me and said, ‘Then, why do you even give a shit?’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
