I almost wonder if doctors recommend those just to deter people from going to the doc over every little thing.

@Pretzel probably. I myself have to be in preeeety bad shape before going to the doc.
I do not look forward to a romantic procedure like having a camera up my backside. Unless I can share pics of it on SW.

Last time I went to the doctor was cause of unbearable jaw pain. Due to the stress, my BP was like 180 over 100. I got sent to the ER thinking, "Welp, this is it. I am going to kick the bucket".

But they did tests and everything seemed normal. My BP even went back down to it's normal 140 over 90.

I will confess, as I left, I though, "Well if my heart is still in good shape, I guess I do not need to quit smoking after all." 😄

I swe4r I will be lucky to see 70.
