That’s generally true but each patient needs to be evaluated as a whole. Connery’s doctor has the whole (or nearly so) story and the red wine may be doing him more harm than good.

Well, I live life on the risky side, and at 65 I feel fine.
I go to a doctor, maybe every 2 years to draw my blood and send it off for analysis to check most everything.
I am not under any stress, and I have no one to depend on me.
I have high LDL, but also high HDL. I have no interest in going on statins. My BP is always text book perfect.
I sometimes think that health concerns and regular doctor visits are unhealthy, haha
Of course, I could drop dead as soon as I hit the send button.
I might add, one of my brothers is a doctor, age 72.
He lives by the same attitude, also traveling the world.
His twin brother has 5 doctors, is a borderline hypochondriac, and is always worrying about health.
He is still married....Maybe thats his problem, haha
