my father used to avoid doctors: he said they just want to start testing and treating everything they can think of just to milk you. He lived to be 90

My mom's 97, she doesn't go to DRs for shit. She's healthy, articulate, works 3 days a week. Doesn't trust em, never has.

God bless her. Make sure you ask her about things relating to the family tree and take notes. Both me and my wife are kicking ourselves now for not having done that while we could. You might also want to tape her answers, so you can have her live.

My father in law feels the same way. Hates having to go to the doctor. Same kind of thinking: if you give them a chance, they'll find something or invent it... He is presently 101!
