My doctor told me I only need to have one more pelvic exam, around age 64-65.

When the PA was doing my physical a few years ago, she asked if a student could observe. Sure. The student was surprised by my good humor. The PA and student both thanked me for being "so good natured about all this" and letting the student observe.

Well, they gotta see it/learn it somewhere!

Know that you can request that you be seen by just the doctor.
(Same with surgery or other procedures.) I usually don't mind, we all had to learn.

Yes, I know. Thanks. The PA did ask, and I was fine with the student there. I think that was the last time I saw that PA. Since then, I've requested my physical to be with the doc; I often have questions and want a "more learned" opinion, especially as I get older.

I feel that taking care of my health is MY responsibility. Again, especially as I get older!

Yes, all must learn. My wife's surgeon's resident at one hospital was great. Attentive and knowledgeable. The POS at regular Dr. didn't know the difference between addiction and physical dependence .

Please check with your doctor first; ketones are basically one of the body's last resorts for energy, and they can cause a plethora of problems if things go wrong with them.

You are talking about diabetes ketosis. Totally different.

Do your own research. Nutrition ketosis helps many problems. Diabetes, mental health, epilepsy

It can, but it comes with its own risks, just like any other extreme diet. Ketones are released when the body doesn't have enough carbohydrates to support itself; this is true regardless of whether it is dietary ketosis or DKA.
I have no doubts that keto diets have helped numerous people; they have, it's true. But it may not be sustainable for everybody.
