When I was younger, I visited the doctor and dentist maybe three or four times a year. A couple of visits to the dentist, a physical, and maybe a doctor visit for the flu or a bad cold was all I needed.
Not anymore. I checked back on my calendar for last year and counted 27 separate appointments between June 1 and the end of the year. That is ridiculous. And I consider myself reasonably healthy (for a man my age). The numbers are slightly inflated because I had surgery on my hand requiring six or seven visits including physical therapy. Other visits were for skin checks, blood tests (I take Warfarin), steroid injections for arthritis in my fingers, and other aches and pains.
What if had something seriously wrong. I wouldn’t have time for anything except going to the doctor.
