March 30th is National Doctor’s Day!

Here’s a quick quiz for you. Give yourself a point for every correct answer (half a point if you have an appointment already scheduled).

Have fun!

• Have you had your annual physical {this includes cholesterol, blood pressure and diabetes} with your primary physician? 
• Have you been to the dentist/hygienist for a prophylaxis {teeth cleaning}? 
• Have you been to the optometrist/ophthalmologist for your annual eye exam?
• Gentlemen over 40, have you had your prostate checked?
• Ladies, is your pap smear and check with gynecologist current?
• Ladies over 40, have you had your annual mammogram? 
• If over 45 year old, is your colonoscopy current?
• Parents, have your teens been vaccinated for HPV {human papilloma virus}?

How did you do? This quiz was a “hats-off” to those medical professionals that take care of our temples, the doctors. National Doctor Day is an annual observance aimed at appreciating physicians who help save our lives everywhere.  This is a day to appreciate the medical advances, treatments and care to those who administer it. This quiz was also used to keep you updated on the importance of staying up-to-date with your healthcare.

Show appreciation for your various doctors while keeping your temple healthy. Go to those needed appointments. And when you make the appointment, keep them. Let your “yes” be your “yes.”
