Same here. Ditto for Dr. Nortin Hadler who wrote several books on the subject of how Americans have too many tests and take too many pills with little regard for the risks vs benefits. He won’t let anyone test his cholesterol until they can prove there is a good reason for doing so.

If you are approaching the senior years, I highly recommend his book Rethinking Aging: Growing Old and Living Well in an Overtreated Society. His other books like Worried Sick and The Last Well Person are also good.
