Do you hate getting your "physicals"?
You have to discuss your life in detail, and expose your physical condition. Yes, they like to be Psychiatrists too if they are smart. I will submit to it every two years or so. One problem is that they always find something to look into even if it doesn't matter. But sometimes it really does... You do not want to end up like my brother-in-law who I thought was the fittest guy in the family.
My doctor is a gym rat - more so than I am - and about 50% grey haired. Looks awesome, and I do not. My fasting glucose was a bit high, so he asked me about my food habits. I told him that, normally, I have 2 coffees for breakfast. He said he was the same. I told him that lunch makes me sleepy, so I usually only have a banana except on weekends. He said he was the same. He asked me what I had for supper last night. I said Thai take out. Cashew Beef I think, which I shared with Mrs.
I told him my appreciation for beer and wine. He thought that was fine.
Then we discussed my blessed Ambien for sleep, especially on planes. He thought that was good, and gave me five refills. I told him that low-dose Doxepin works, but produces too many bad dreams for me.
Yeah, I have to recheck my glucose.
