No one is as keen to talk about their health as me, but

I have just received this from the local Health Centre..

Dear Mr blah blah
XXX Diabetes UK Community Group Support for people with diabetes living in XXX through shared experience and learning from other people with diabetes, talks from experts and increased knowledge of local services for people with diabetes.

It is open to anyone with Diabetes (either Type 1 or Type 2) and you don't have to live in XXX.
Group meeting virtually on zoom the third Monday of each month from 3.30-5.00pm.

So it is a nice thought. Very kind in them I am sure, but what is there to discuss? The bad news is that everything aches. The better news is that a few paracetamols solve that. And the best news of all is that I piss like a horse which is great for the compost heap.

So, nice thought but what is with all this endless talking about every ailment? What happened to the good old days when you went to the doctor and he said mmh, take an aspirin, some brandy and if you are no better in the morning  then you are probably dead anyway?

I don't care what they say, modern medicine has not been all progress.
