The ol' ticker

I love having health insurance, especially in a country such as ours where it's treated like a luxury - lucky me!

Today I had my yearly physical check up. I was sitting there on the exam table, in my fashionable, blue hospital gown thingy, when my doc's assistant came in to take my blood pressure, weight, blood samples, etc...
Only...this time she wheeled in a crazy machine on a cart.

"That's new," I said.
She replied, "Cardiogram. It's recommended once you're 30."

Great. This just reminded me of the blurb I read somewhere once upon a time that said a human heart starts its decline at 30 years of age.

I am officially in a new age bracket. I want another birthday party, dammit.
