Fist bumps and “chop knuckles”

“ I don’t like seeing doctors” he admitted with a chuckle
“Each time I see them something’s wrong”
He had come in … Mid 40s and needing a laceration repair to his left arm after a workplace injury!
I don’t blame you, I replied.
I don’t like seeing them TOO OFTEN too!
He didn’t expect that response!
I cleaned up his wound, numbed it up and started sewing.
I continued … “so I go for my check up yearly so I don’t have to see them down the line for something that could have been prevented if caught early”
He is a father of 6… youngest just clocked 1.
We talked about his travels … He’d been to 6 continents and he showed me pics to prove it!
I asked him where he wanted to be in 10years!
“Still traveling and living life”
BP check …
164/92
I want you still traveling and living life!
An annual check up is important to keep and maintain all your engines running efficiently
I used the car analogy
He got the message
We talked diet changes
Exercise of some sort
Medication came up too
We scheduled a follow up…
We agreed it was an inconvenience for him!
I chuckled back - “ ..But you’re worth it!”
We did a “double fist bump” (or chop knuckle) as we ended the visit!
So here’s a double fist bump to you!
Doing the needful.
