Annual Physical

I get a physical every year. Complete metabolic panel of bloodwork, etc. It's worthwhile.

I actually see a PA for my regular primary care stuff. It's a lady - about my age. I prefer female healthcare professionals. In general, they seem to be better listeners, more patient, etc. She's pretty cool. Does triathlons, we talking mountain biking, running, etc.

my oncologist, on the other hand, is a dude. I think he's the only guy in the entire building where English is his first language. Really cool guy, quite young. Handsome as hell. We talk politics (hope that doesn't offend the fragile types), his wife is a professor at MSU.

anyway, if we have access to affordable healthcare, we owe it to those less fortunate to maximize the hell out of it, while still fighting for them to have access to the same.

go to the doctor, ask questions, follow-up, get second opinions, etc. Things can go downhill quickly if not properly monitored.
