I had to see my Doctor today, he took over from my long term Doctor who left (family reasons all most over night) suddenly.
I am on long term medication so have to have an annual blood test, so wanted to make sure when I have it done with the nurse the same arrangement would take place and the new Doctor would contact me if any issues.
During the consultation he said, "do you smoke" yes a pipe I said. "Do you realise smoking is probably the worse thing you can do for your health" and a few other things which flew over my head, bypassing my ears. In a very aggressive manner.
I have terminal cancer! So just how bad smoking my pipe can be for my health. I said in return.
This was from a Doctor who was somewhere between 2 to 3 stone overweight! And half my age. Felt like saying your high cards for a heart attack! But decided I had made my point.
He mellowed somewhat after that, not mentioning the smoking anymore.
Boy don't they like to lecture!!
Sounded like when the steam train was first seen going very fast the uneducated said "it will turn the sheep black.
Then smoking is after all "the new black"
