I had a pre-physical before Christmas and just had a physical today.
Doc looks at blood work then and now and says, "you should go do
whatever you were doing over the holidays, your blood sugar and
cholesterol look better now". I told him I'd been sailing so he asked
how that could affect my blood. Basically, I eat very little when
sailing cuz I simply forget to do so.
So, should I take this as doctors orders to continue my cruise?

Sounds like a brilliant man whose advice requires strict adherence.

Obviously, you should ask him for a prescription. If you have decent
health care, it may be covered.... and the whole thing might be
deductible......

Spectacular idea. I wonder if Medicare would buy it? Probably.

Frankly, why not.... (within reason).

Certainly, I'd have to buy a pool to swim in with my money, but 30+
years ago a friend of mine bought a pool with insurance money because
her son was disabled and the doctor prescribed water borne exercise
for the kid....

If the Frog (OMG, you aren't La Grenouille, are you?) is made
healthier by a bit of medicine... I'm not that self centered....

Hell, the taxpayers pay YOUR insurance, don't we? What's the problem?

Well, they don't pay all of it, but I'm deeply appreciative of the part they do
pay.

Absolutely no problem. Hell, I might take up sailing. That's why I asked.

When I asked my doc if fishing counted as exercise, his response was, "How far
do you walk on water?"

Fair enough.... my advice? Drop kick that ass of a doctor to the curb
and find a manly seafaring man for a doctor....

Hey, this is a Korean doctor that found my aneurysm. (The one I had repaired a
few months back.) He was thought of as a wonder kid by the other medical folks
when they learned he'd found it in a routine physical.

I'm nice to him.

I cannot remember if Grenouille is french for "Frog" or "toad" but the
answer is "No". My "nom-de usenet" has nothing to do with the French.

"Show"? is that TV? My attention span is too short to allow me to
watch any tv or even go to movies or to concerts. Drives my wife
nuts. As a result, I am completely ignorant of popular culture.
