Physical: Best defense against disease. Physical includes blood pressure and pulse check, exam of heart, lungs and abdomen with stethoscope and palpation (touch), check for hernia and depending on your age an exam of the prostate (digital rectal exam), urinalysis, blood testing for sugar, cholesterol and a blood count. May also include an EKG (electrocardiogram). All painless! Vaccines and other prevention.
