Do you think I'll live to be 85?

[idk01]

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.

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do
you think I'll live to be 85?'.

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, barbecued ribs or sausage?'.

I said, 'No, my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!'.

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

'No, I don't,' I said.

He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, ride a Harley, or have a lot of
s*x?'.

'No,' I said.

He looked at me and said, 'Then, why do you even give a sh*t?
