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.
