I attended a “Well Person’s” clinic recently at the Doctor’s surgery and it went something like this.

Nurse: Before we start lets just take some blood and ask a few questions
Nurse: (sticking HUGE needle in my arm) Stop squirming
Nurse: Now Mr Smyth do you smoke ?
Me: Yes
Nurse: Cut that out. Do you drink ?
Me: Yes
Nurse: How many units a week?
Me: What’s a unit?
Nurse: A small glass of wine or half a pint of beer
Me: How many units am I allowed?
Nurse: 21 units a week maximum and no more than 6 units a night
Me: Ooops buggered the weeks quota last night.
Nurse: Well cut it down to the recommended amount
Nurse: Do you eat red meat
Me: Yes
Nurse: Cut that out. Do you have fried food?
Me: yes
Nurse: Cut that out.. Now on these scales please, thank you now under this, thank
          you. Mr Smyth your BMI says that you are Fat bordering on obese. We need
          to structure a diet.
Nurse: First indications would indicate that your cholesterol is also way too high and the
          diet will reflect this.

So it looks like my life expectancy is around 15 minutes unless I, Stop smoking, Stop drinking and Stop eating. Then it would be about 1 week because I am medically fat and can live off that.

However I have no intention of adhering to Sister Attila the Hun and I will live until I die.

All the best off to change my will.

Well, on the plus side...at least we've met.   rotflmfao

Well, they let you in - that's a start!

"Well, they let you in - that's a start!"

Very true.... when I went all I got was "No time wasters please"

NO chance Big man, the Grim reaper does not have the odds to call!

I will send flowers to the funeral.

According to that I died last year !!!! And maybe the pic below is why I should quit smoking anyway

I have to admit to enjoying the odd cigarette and other vices including alcohol but it's all in moderation.

It would be wrong for me to tell my clients to cut everything out and then have a starbucks mocha and belgian chocolate cornflake slice on the way home   ;kev;

Enjoy life but make sure you have enough time to make the most of it.

I've got all the same vices as the duke,but i'm a skinny bugger.So how long have i got left ?

You might last but poor defenceless animals won't

I went to the doctors today with a sore back, its been sore for the past 2 weeks I fell down a mates stairs after 3 bottles of wine and the quack somehow managed to turn it around to it being a weight issue!!  Argh, these ***** really do piss me off.  I thought my corner well then she started discussing my drinking, I meant wtf all I wanted was some pain killers.

Technically it was a weight issue.  If you'd been in space and 'weightless', there wouldn't have been the gravitational pull to get you down the stairs. 

That probably isn't helping though...

did u mention that u do not exercise apart from cliking the mouse to call raise or fold?? this may increase your "time line"

And look what a ravaged face it has got you.

Fold is as alien as exercise  ;nemesis;

I know a lot of people scoff at the advice their doctors and nurses give to them. This advice is not given out for nothing. Before you cast it away, think about your family and what they would feel if you had a heart attack. Its difficuly to apply this kind of advice to yourself when you dont want to make any changes but if they are telling you to make them, my advice is that you should try even a little. They generally dont just TELL you to give up things so you must need that advice more than others ;)

think walking, fruit and red wine ( 1 glass per night) lol

The advice the nurse gave you was well intentioned and sound, it may lengthen your life. However the extra years will be when you are 80 and a wreck of a man, so enjoy yourself, have Guinness and Bensons for breakfast. :)up
