Yes, the rabbit hole is deep and wide. I’ll be glad when I’m old enough (by my standards) to say “forget it” with all the routine tests and exams.

I was never old enough - by my standards - to even wish to start with them. I’m so glad, especially in retrospect. I’m now ‘medically invisible’ - no records at all, so [They] have nothing to use against me. I did have to sign up for Medicare, though ... grrrr ... my first, and only, blip on their radar!

(I’ve strongly believed since at least the ‘80s that the whole medical system was corrupt, and that I was on my own and had better take care of myself!)
