Today at the Doc’s
Doc: Any giddiness? Headaches?
Me: No.
Doc: Good.. breathe in.. breathe out….
Me: Doc, a friend of mine dropped dead last month one week before his wedding.
Doc: Is it heart attack?
Me: I believe so.
Doc: Must be from all the anxiety before a wedding.
Me: But he was only 34.
Doc: Oh.. yeah.. now, the mortality rate is getting younger. In fact, compared to 10 years ago, heart attack would affect people above age 45 but now, the average age of getting a heart attack is 38.
Me: That is why, after listening to this story, I went jogging last week 2x.
Doc: That’s a good start.. but this week? It’s already the weekend.
Me: No.. I only jogged 2x last week and I went drinking last night.
Doc & Me: HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!
Me: If a person has a weak heart, what can he do to strengthen it?
Doc: It’s very hard to tell you if you don’t get me the diagnosis. It maybe the valve problem, or arteries or a hole in the heart.. blah blah blah….
Me: My other friend told me, his friend also dropped dead in the car park. But I think it’s due to stress because he worked in a stock trading company. But he lived quite a healthy life – he didn’t smoke, he went to the gym, and he looked pretty fit.
Doc: Oh well, if you are a working professional, living in the city, living a sedentary lifestyle, the food you eat, you would be subject to all these diseases.
Me: But he was only 28.
Doc: OMIGOD! You are making me worried with all the stories.
Me: You mean you don’t exercise?
Doc: No I don’t.
Me: Then, why did you tell me to exercise?
Doc: Well, we all doctors will tell you to do something which we ourselves don’t normally do. I told patients not to eat prawns but when I go home, I whack two tiger prawns.. deep fried some more!!
Me: Wah.. you are very honest! Anyway, I think this serves as a reminder that we shouldn’t take this too lightly… before we start to drop dead like flies.
Not sure who is the doctor now?

Doctor Gina,
Only one comment.
“Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.”
