Well yesterday I finally did it. I got a basic physical exam. Since this was the first time since I was young that I have gone to the doctor when I wasn't sick (and I have rarely been sick enough to go to the doctor), it was quite an occasion for me.
I chose to go to a ND (Naturopathic Doctor) instead of a standard MD. After asking around I found one that came recommended as looking at the "whole" picture nutritionally, etc. instead of standard doctor fare. I also had to be careful to avoid one that was into "new age" stuff.
So far I am very pleased with the doctor I found. She explained things carefully, didn't suggest any unnecessary tests, and agreed with my assessment that I am very healthy. She had a few suggestions for adding supplements to my diet as I get older, but that was about it.
This morning I gave blood so they can do blood work on me. I'll find out my results next week.
