14. I've been on Medicare and my doc wanted to run some tests on my heart because of a 20 year-old heart murmur

He said to me, "How can I run tests if you always say you feel fine?" I told him I have regular Medicare. Just run the tests. Even he's been conditioned to cut back on routine health care. Constantly being squeezed by the system. He told me, "Oh yes. We can order the tests." Plus, people die all the time after saying, "I feel great." Ticking time bomb. Anyways, my follow-up is t'mrrw. Hope it goes well.
