Will I Live To See 80

Will I Live to see 80?

 

Here's something to think about.  

 

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. (I just turned 70)  

 

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?' 

 

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 and barbecued ribs? 

 

'I said, 'Not much... My former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!'

 

'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'

 

'No, I don't,' I said. 

 

He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?' 

 

'No,' I said. 

 

He looked at me and said,..  'Then, why do you even give a shit?
