The mother of a good friend is 105 and healthy and active. Her secret is "watch your weight and stay away from doctors because they will kill you." I believe she is right.

by whatever deity or deities you prefer (I like "by Crom!",) I'm immensely glad that I have historically only had to rely on the medical-industrial establishment in the last few decades to stitch up one severe work-related physical injury or for diagnostic bloodwork last year to verify I hadn't caught a nasty incurable virus (no, not, coronavirus, but one of them that the inoculations are known to allow to manifest in people.)

I'd be scared as hell if I had ever trusted and used the Establishment medics for smaller issues.

interestingly, the medic that did the blood work insisted on a vitamin d test, saying that most of the people who came through were deficient. kudos to them for that. I was not deficient (no surprise to me but it surprised them.) they made such a face when I said my last doctor visit was in 2007 to have the end of my finger cleaned up and stitched after a machine ate it at work and the previous was in 1995 to have a brown recluse spider that had run into my ear removed...
