Now, with all those really interesting electronics and gadgets to search on the Internet, shouldn't we entrust our health issues to the medical professionals?

Men, what was the last month that you visited a medical professional for a consultation or yearly check-up? If you cannot remember the month, or the year, then it has been too long.

It seems that men are always too busy to take time for a yearly doctor's visit, because there are always so many other things to do. Take the time to search and purchase a new electronic gadget to take with you to the doctor's office, and learn to use it while you sit in the lobby or waiting area. Consider it your personal reward for that yearly check-up that you have been putting off for far too long. Take time to take care of yourself, and simultaneously give yourself a little time to play, because that contributes to good mental health.

Wives, encourage your husband to reserve a little time for a yearly health check by a doctor, not the Internet. If there are any concerns with the top ten health issues, then refer to the top ten electronics and gadget searches for motivation.
