Other than grandchildren the major topic of conversation among seniors is probably their health and, by extension, their doctors. While there are complaints, most seniors are content with their medical care.
Opportunities for humor abound like the experience of an 80 year old man who went for an annual physical: As he was listening to the man’s heart with the stethoscope, the doctor muttered “Oh, Oh.” “What’s the problem?” asked the man. “Well,” the doctor said, “You have a serious heart murmur.” “Do you smoke?” “No, replied the man. “Do you drink in excess?” “No,” replied the man. “Do you have a sex life?” “Yes, I do.” “Well,” said the doctor, “ You’ll have to give up half of your sex life.’ “Which half?” muttered the man, ” The looking or the thinking?
The doctor gave his 80-year old patient a curious stare. “I’ve been practicing medicine for 20 years, and this is the first time anyone has had this complaint. What do you mean your virility is too high?”
The old man sighed gently. It’s all up in my head, he explained.
