“Since when does a gastroenterologist perform a routine physical?”
When asked?
The physicals I get as retired military consist of a PA looking at my blood work for 15 seconds and going, “You look OK”. If the PA wants to look extra thorough, he/she will pretend to listen to my lungs for another 15 seconds.
Including small talk, my physicals last about 5 minutes...and I haven’t seen an MD since I retired in 2008.

I lost my doctor when Obamacare was implemented. He thought Obamacare was going to be great. He quit and isn’t even practicing medicine anymore. He went into research. Hated the new paperwork I guess.
I must have your doctor now. It’s the quickest exams I’ve ever had and I’m not a youngster.
