Below is the way I meant my note to be read. It was an estimation of
course, but we men aren't exactly known to be running to the doctor at the
rate of women. The sad news is once we pass forty things go wrong and we
men tend to die off rather suddenly. Two of my friends went in for a check
up only for the doctors to have bp readings on both of them of almost
165/***. They both went in for reasons not associated with hypertension. I
visited my doctor for completely different problems I could no longer
ignore and I found out I am not 16 any more. In the United States at least,
I think the Doctor may be closer to correct, than farther from it.
At any rate I do not have an informed opinion on whether it is a true
statement or not, I was just passing on what was told to me.
