Typically you get what feels like five minutes to ask your doctor a few questions , while you ’re sit on the board in your short newspaper apparel that never seems to fit . Then they rattle off advice : drink less , cut out the soda , stop eating this or that . You may pluck your eyes , nod a short , give a look of guilt … then maybe you accept some of the advice . Or mayhap you do n’t .
alternatively of scrambling to put your apparel back on , have you ever ask any of your doctors what advice they give themselves ? How about the things they trim down out of their homes ? Here ’s what a few of them had to say .
