I'm not but 48, but remember when the family doctor, a general practitioner, was able to do almost everything? Now days, if you go to one, more than likely he's going to refer you to some sort of specialist. Once you see the specialist, he's going to tell you his specialty doesn't cover your exact problem, so you need yet another specialist.
Personally beyond a DOT physical I avoid doctors like the plague. In fact they make me unhealthy. Seriously, I monitor my blood pressure at home, and it's normal. I go to the doctor and it goes through the roof the longer I set there.
When I went to see the specialist about my finger back in Jan, it was 160 over something when I went in their office. Two hours later it was down to 150 when I hit another for my physical. I had waited forever to be seen, and knew it would still be up, so I told them to give me about 20 minutes on the phone, etc and it would go down. Twenty minutes later it was down, but not quite low enough.
They had already decided I was going to have to have a note from the other doctor saying I was OK to drive with a hurt finger (((((imagine why these idiots had me stressed out more than normal))))). So, they said to run get the note, chill out, outside the doctors office, and they would get me back immediately when I came back. I got back, and they got me back almost immediately.
The nurse took my BP and it was now reading good. So, she goes and gets the doc. Ten minutes later she comes in and takes it again. Just like always it had headed back up. So she leaves, saying she'll give me a few minutes to relax and try again.......10 minutes later it was up higher than it was to start with.
How do you convince these idiots that "white coat syndrome" which is what I was diagnosed with years ago, is all but impossible to prevent. I HATE DOCTORS, and going to see them stresses me out when I'm not usually stressed out over anything. In other words, I stay away from doctors to keep myself healthy..........

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
