Dr. Isaacs: no hospitalizations

any medications of any sort?

:06:06
I’ve just been
taking vitamins.

:06:07
Any food allergies
or anything?

:06:09
No.
:06:11
There's no heart disease
or diabetes or blood pressure

:06:13
or cancer
in the immediate family?

:06:15
My grandfather's had
a couple open-heart surgeries.

:06:18
One out of four
grandparents is dead.

:06:20
Yeah.
:06:21
Good genes.
That's the important thing.

:06:23
- Any alcohol use?
- Now? None.

:06:25
You don't smoke?
:06:26
I used to, but I don't.
:06:27
Any drug use at all?
:06:29
Not for a long time.
:06:30
- Are you sexually active at present?
- Yes.

:06:33
- A girlfriend?
- Yes.

:06:35
Is there anything
we didn't cover?

:06:36
Is there anything else
you need to tell me?

:06:38
I don't think so.
:06:39
"Patient is embarking
on a one-month McDonald's binge."

:06:49
Very good.
:06:50
You might have something
called white coats.

:06:53
140 over about 95.
:06:55
130 over 105.
:06:57
120 over 80.
:06:59
That's what it is?
:07:00
The other guys
are stressing me out.

:07:02
You're much more relaxed.
:07:03
I tend to do that
to my patients.

:07:05
Swallow, please.
:07:07
Your reflexes are perfect.
:07:09
Good. Back out.
Normal.

:07:11
Say "ah."
:07:13
Everything
looks pretty normal here.

:07:15
Good.
:07:16
We'll skip
checking for hernias.

:07:17
We're gonna
do a rectal exam.

:07:22
I like to be more
thorough than that.

:07:24
And I like doctors
to be thorough.

:07:26
You're gonna go downstairs
and get your bloods drawn.

:07:29
So, the reason
we have you fasting

:07:31
is the true cholesterol
and glucose number is fasting.

:07:34
So, if you had, like,
a bacon, egg, and cheese

:07:37
your cholesterol
would be way high,

:07:38
or if you had orange juice,
your glucose would be high.

:07:41
Three down.
:07:42
Your blood tests
are excellent.

:07:44
Your starting off with
a total cholesterol of 168

:07:47
which is less than 200,
which is really superb

:07:50
your blood level's fine.
:07:51
Your iron level
is good as well.

:07:53
you have no evidence
of diabetes.

:07:55
Your fasting blood sugar
is very low.

:07:57
the other thing
that we looked at

were all your electrolytes
in terms of salts in your blood,
