Amen Ingrid. You know, as an old guy, we just never went to the "doctor" unless we truly had something wrong with us or a broken limb or something. We have been conditioned over the last couple of decades that we have to go to the "doctor" for *everything*. Young guys in their 20's at work would floor me when they would tell me they had a "doctor's" appointment. I'd usually give them crap and tell them that my 100 year old Grandmother (for real) went to the "doctor" less then they did. The constant testing etc to find out if we have something wrong with us is insane. I may die early because something didn't get "caught" in time, but I will at least be able to leave something for my family instead of giving every last thing I own to a hospital administrator.
