Medical History

Gentlemen! Your temple may need a little inspection. We've all heard that our body is our temple. That is ever so true. When was the last time you had a complete physical examination? I mean complete, with MRI, EKG, blood work and prostate check? Age doesn't matter. Younger cats are shockingly dropping to sneaky and vicious conditions more frequently than in times past. Some of these young and older men alike, are the epitome of good health. So if you're young and don't think you need a complete physical, you may be sitting on a condition that could have been detected sooner.

Another matter that we often take for granted is medical history. Not only knowing your personal history is crucial, but knowing family health history is vital. Parents, siblings, grand-parents, aunts, uncles are all from the same seed. Genetics can have an endless voyage from generation-to-generation, carrying a payload of potentially menacing health conditions. Your own children can be at risk too if you can't tell the pediatrician any family medical history.

One last observation. Before you permit your youngster or teen play strenuous competitive sports, command an EKG, at the least from their pediatrician. Don't rely on the clinic the school or team organizers recommend to provide a thorough exam. The doctor through your medical provider has to honor your request, and your insurance will not dispute the charges if the service is performed during a routine physical. Thank you for reading. We want you around a long time.
