Thanks Mark. Pretty much why I've avoided a "primary care" doctor up 'til now. At 69 I expect the "tests" to "show" things which will require more "tests" and ever more "specialists." At the same time; I understand that this body does require more "attention" at this age. I'm unfamiliar with the proper balance. Thusly - looking for what ever experience and wisdom may be available.
