As I've mentioned in comments before: As an old guy, the times when I did rarely need to see a physician (we were *very* careful about choosing one as well), they didn't ask me how many shots I'd had, they asked me what I'd been eating and have I been getting exercise and sunlight. And that's the God's honest truth. Now, it's pretty much the reverse: "We've got a pill for that or we've got a new "vaccine" for that." (And I have to sarcastically add for a bit of humor, "are you getting one or more Big Macs weekly?) It's a wonder the human race is even still alive.

You are so right. When we were children doctors were there to heal people. They knew you personally, where and how you lived, knew about food etc. Now they only know about pills. At least the nurse from the doc where I go asks me all the questions (did you get a mammogram ? A pep smear ? A Xray ? MRI ? no no no no. Neither do I , she says, and I work here. A nurse after my heart !
