I had my annual full medical this morning.

I'm male, over 55. That's 2 out of 3 (or more) risk factors for heart
disease.

I'm always a bit concerned about what he'll find this time around.
But the prostrate checked out okay... That's always a good time...NOT!.

And every year I ask myself WHY did I pick a family doctor who toured
with the Barbarian Rugby team. He has hands that were designed to
continue his family's business, digging the peat-bog in Ireland.
I also didn't know my prostrate was in my chest somewhere.
I now know why his examination table has a headboard so he won't throw
me off onto the floor.
I now know why the double doors and extra soundproofing.
If he ever decided to become a potter, he would be able to throw an
out-door fountain with those hands.
Thorough he is, gentle he's not.

Reminds me of a dentist I went to many years ago for an emergency. He was
making a joke and held his hand in front of my face and made a fist. That
is when I realized that his fist was almost as big as my head! No wonder my
mouth hurt.

I alway made sure after that any dentist who worked on me had small hands.
