Most men do not seek regular health checkups. Is it because they don't know what to expect?
Here's how a visit goes at Form & Function Healthcare...
1) We will get vitals - heart rate and O2 using a finger monitor, weight on a scale, and BP taken manually.
2) We will go over some of your health history, focusing on past surgeries, hospitalizations, medications and supplements.
3) We will review lifestyle details - work, hobbies, diet, alcohol, THC use, ci******es, activity level.
4) We will talk about any relevant family history, like cancers, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, mental health.
5) You will bring up concerns or questions.
6) We will do a physical exam that includes listening with a stethoscope to heart, lungs, and bowel sounds. We will check anything you are concerned about, like if your knee hurts, we will take a look at that.
7) We will go over screenings that are due. If you are over age 45 with no family colon cancer history, you will get a take-home p**p test to mail to a lab. If you are over 50, we will do a blood test to get a baseline PSA to check for an enlarged prostate or prostate cancer (no butt stuff needed!).
8) We will do labs. CBC, CMP, check cholesterol, A1C (diabetes), possibly thyroid function, and anything that is relevant to history and exam.
That's it! And then we will do it again in one year.
