James Bond Explains Proper Nutrition

With the holidays upon us, that means lots of socializing, snacking, and imbibing.  I work very hard to avoid mentioning my occupation, among other reasons, because people I met ten minutes before immediately want to tell me about their own health conditions about which I care not at all.  And post-COVID, it’s even more grating having to listen to everyone compare shot counts.  Don’t you people have hobbies?  Mmm, these pigs-in-a-blanket are great!

It never ceases to amaze and irritate that even casual acquaintances just have to tell me about their most recent cholesterol numbers.  I don’t care.  And I don’t believe in statin therapy for the vast majority, reason #431 why I left primary care – it felt really slimy recommending something to patients (hello malpractice lawyers!) that I wouldn’t do myself.  And the thought of intentionally inducing liver dysfunction when whatever is left of that organ should be saved for recreational purposes is simply uncivilized.  Moreover, yapping about that stuff at a party is a downer.  No, ya’ll carry on, I’m just gonna need another double bourbon to wash down this excellent baked brie, please excuse me.

I’ll let an aging yet wise Agent 007 take over from here, in presenting proper dietary advice.  Cheers!
