Today’s Healthy Tip: Get regular checkups: See your doctor for regular checkups and screenings.
What do intelligent people do? They’ll get regular checkups. You’re intelligent so schedule the annual tests appropriate for you. Give yourself the best chance to maintain your health. Yes, I know, we’re supposed to be on time to wait an hour or longer. If we’re late we have a problem. Take an iPad and read an ebook, scroll through your social media, or find another type of distraction. Don’t let it bother you. You know they’re going to take your blood pressure. They’ll put it on their computer and will show you have a high BP just because you got ticked because the doctor kept you waiting. Let’s not forget when you get chosen to go back to an examination room, there’s another 30 minutes to wait while you sit on the edge of an exam table in one of those half naked hospital gown dangling your legs over the edge. It almost seems funny. Ok, in Texas language, “Get it done, pardner!”
