Which is whi I told mine I was coming in ONCE a year.

… and give you a new lifelong prescription.

I had a stress test. I walk in and came out in a wheelchair!

Medical science is great, if all you have is a broken limb or something like that. As soon as it’s more complicated, they don’t know what it is, where it came from or how to do anything more than prescribe painkillers or medication with lots of side effects.

50% guesswork

When there’s something wrong with you they say I wouldn’t worry about it. But it’s not you!

We don’t have health care, we have sick care.

I have a car mechanic like that….

I hate going to the doctor. I’m not going to die young. At my age they always find something else wrong with me, which confirms what Grandpa said.

Used to be you went to your doctor, he told you what was wrong and wither prescribed something, or told you what you needed to do. Now it’s all specialists and tests and scans.

Earl you sound like my brother-in-law. My dad used to do that and his health got worse. Fortunate my husband is not like that. For me that major fall on my left side, the two bones effected has healed, the muscles getting there, all that exercise, I am having trouble with my left knee, and my left upper arm, Dr. sent referral to Orthopedic.

Nah, the Canadians come to Texas for our famous BBQ!
