What a great doctor! He’s really making the rest of us look like slackers.

My doc and his PA assistant actually challenged their patients to spent 6months training to walk/run a half or full Marathon last year. The goal was to get all of us in shape, not to actually do the marathon. The PA ran the marathon (he has done quite a few) and my doctor walked the half with his wife and the majority of us patients. It really was great because it showed that some doctors are willing to literally walk the talk. During the months before the race they had training meetings where you learned proper nutrition, stretches, how to avoid injuries etc. I look forward to doing it again this year.

I hope I haven’t created an international incident.

Not wishing to be jingoistic, or ow’t, but one might take issue with your prediction for the victor in an international butt kick-off.
Anyway, duty to Quenn and Country done, I’moff to fill me boots.
Brilliant!

Yeah, I think there’s probably no difference between the American and British docs. However, it’s nice to think that if the British ever try to re-colonize the US, we would be able to kick their butts.

Heh, i wrote this on another blog, however, it reminds me of Dr. Perri Klass’ book “Treatment, Kind and Fair”. In one part, she asked a group of (American) physicans if they follow the suggestions they give thier patients, particularly concerning diet and exercise. Most of them just laughed and shook their heads.
(tracy, just off the tread.)
