  • Picture of Perfect Health

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to All on Fri Jun 5 20:06:36 2020
    Hello Everybody,

    On Wednesday the White House announced a summary of US President
    Donald J. Trump's annual physical. While the results came as no
    surprise to our beloved Commander-in-Chief, it did come as quite
    a surprise to many others. Mostly young people who get their
    exercise mostly by protesting in the streets. Anyway, here are
    the results -

    US President Donald J. Trump
    Age: Almost 74
    Weight: 244 pounds
    Height: 6 feet 3 inches
    Blood Pressure: 121/79 mmHS
    Resting Heart Rate: 63 beats per minute

    These are the numbers one would expect of a young athlete
    in his prime. Can anybody say the same about the editor of
    the Fidonews? After all, he is almost the same age as the
    POTUS, and is no longer nearly as active as he used to be.

    As participants of this forum, we deserve to know the truth.
    Is the editor of the Fidonews still fit to serve?

    The POTUS swears by junk food and diet coke as his fountain
    of youth. Along with playing golf to the exclusion of any
    other form of exercise. We see the results every day, except
    when he is hiding in his bunker.

    Bunker King. Over 18000 Whoppers Sold to Date.

    Nobody can keep up that kind of pace.
    Not even the editor of the Fidonews.

    Time for Bj”rn Felten to give it up and hand over the keys to Donald.

    You are right. For almost a decade now I'm on a strict LCHF diet -- the last year even on a keto diet.

    180cm and 80kg I'm doing fine according to my daughter (MD) who performs a yearly health check on me. She, if anybody, should know if there's anything to be worried about. After all, she only have half of her parents left...

    Does she have skinny fingers?

    I don't know what that means. She was a late starter studying to become an MD, short of being 30yo when she finished. She now is the head medical officer in one of the biggest hospitals in northern Sweden.

    If that means that she has skinny fingers, so may be it. I only know that when she was a teenager and she and I played the piano together, we managed quite well. With Mozart, Beethoven, Grieg and Sindling equally well.

       I don't know what that means.

    Since I turned 50 the doctors I have visited have become obsessed (or so it seems to me) with DREs (digital rectal examinations).

    They all seem to have fat fingers :(

    Haha, I haven't been approached for one of those yet by the doc. And yes, I am
    over 50.

    Ahhh! I see. Well, my daughter has made it abundantly clear, that she will *never* perform a rectal exam on me. And I concur. If I should encounter some prostate problems, we both agree that she will *not* be involved.

    There *are* limits to whose fingers you are allowed up your rectum. I once (in the 1970s) were subject to a full cavity search and it was actually performed by a female police officer -- it was kinda sexy...

    In this country doctors/surgeons are not allowed to work on their family.
