A member asked:
As a fit & healthy 50+ male how often should i have a medical check up?

Yearly: I teach my patients that once you are fifty we should have at least one visit per year. Hypertension is a silent disease as is kidney and liver issues and the cholesterol. It is nice to get a baseline blood sample panel and a vital sign during this once yearly visit.
