I might have a terminal illness now and don't know it but I think too much doctoring is what's wrong with most people. I go to the doctor when I NEED to...which isn't often.

I fell at the airport waiting to board a plane for the Bahamas and went on as planned. I swam with dolphins; took Aleve 3X daily. When I got home I did go to an Urgent Care center because it was obvious by then I had a broken shoulder. I did need PT for a few weeks but got over it. I was 72 when that happened.

My shoulder hurts just reading that!

But you’re right. Most healthy people don’t need annual physicals, for example, and a nurse at a CVS or Walgreen’s could do most basic screening for a fraction of the cost in our regular medical system.

If people would simply not smoke or eat themselves obese and be moderately active we could probably cut our healthcare costs in half.
