My father is 92, lives alone, still drives, still likes to help me at the farm. His great love in life (especially after my mom died 5 years ago) is building things, he has a huge following for that.

His doctor is probably 70-75, very capable. He is the type you speak of. Presence is reassuring, he is comfortable in his own skin. The nurses keep the records, he makes his computer entries away from the exam room. He is very efficient.

I don’t use him, only because I’ve gone to another hospital for 20 years. When we moved back in 1995, company insurance was not accepted at the local hospital, but one nearby was.

I seldom go to a doctor. Take no meds. Will be 70 before year is out.

I hold the “wise old owls” in high respect. Have seen enough to separate knowledge from wisdom.

Thanks for comments.

Whaaaat!? You don’t take annny meds!? What’s wrong with you? Don’t you know you’re supposed to be (hooked) on 5 to 10 different (toxic) meds per day? (Are you sure you’re ok? You DO need drugs, you’re over 50, after all)

Good for you! That’s why you’ll live a long and healthy life. Just don’t tell anyone or it’ll get back to the “ethical” drug pushers.
