My doctor is about 20 years younger than I am. She says I’m in good shape for a man of my age. I thought that was a good thing, until I heard someone say the same thing about King Tut.
I had a primary care doc that retired after a heat attack, I had to find a new one. When you start outliving your doctors it could be a sign to be carefull.
Darn, this comic is so very very true. Like all too many friends and family, too many of my physicians are dieing (or retiring). Making sure theire replacements are a lot younger than I am — sadly they lack the expertise that experience graced those who are gone.

How can you trust a doctor that won’t stick around?…..

My doctor can’t understand why I’m still alive, despite his best efforts.

Or retiring!
I have had my family doctor for 14 years after our last one (35 years) retired.
I hope this one sticks around a few more years – I’ve just gotten him trained lol!

“I keep looking for a doctor who won’t tell me to exercise more and eat less, and won’t tell me to give up drinking. I’m sure there’s one out there.”

You’re old when the doctor starts her/his advise with, “If you were my grandparent I’d tell you to …”

Either that or retiring… a problem of getting older I hadn’t really considered.

Consistently outliving your doctor is not a bad thing, especially if you can keep it up!

Consider the nominal: Aging Out! Make a bet with your doctor to outlive each other. Or retire together. Which ever comes first.

At my age most of my doctors the past 20 years were younger than I am, some not by much but still younger.
