I know my doc keeps bugging me about getting certain things/procedures done when I go in every once in a blue moon, but only after she types stuff into the computer and I think BCBS pops up things that they want me to get done. I say no but the nurse sets up appointments for me without me saying to do so, so when that other docs office calls to confirm an appointment I have to tell them no I didn’t authorize this appointment and cancel it. Sometimes my doc gets a little upset with me, but it’s not her body. So I can see them doing something like this. I was surprised when my doc started doing this because she always seemed to really care about our health and our family. We’ve been with her for like 15 yrs.

I have BCBS through my employer but it's only there if I have a heart attack, break a bone, or get in a car accident.
My wife got on my case for never getting a checkup soon after we got married. You know, the kinds of things wives are known for.
So I scheduled an annual checkup, got my bloodwork done, and passed with flying colors. Blood pressure was low and everything looked good.
Doctor asked me what my secret was. My answer was I eat whole foods and avoid seeing people like you.
I wish I had his microexpression reaction on video.
My wife hasn't bugged me about it since.
