Wed, this is a great take and my experience exactly. Always had medical professionals pushing meds on me at my old age. I love going in for an appointment, answering "none" when they ask what meds I take, then laughing when they find I have no health issues.
Got very fortunate when retired and moved back to Nebraska. Got accepted as a patient at Holy Family Medical Associates in east Lincoln. They never push medications, vaccinations, etc.
I gotta meet you sometime. I, like you, lived all over the country but have come back to God's Country in recent years. I always liked your take on life on the west coast and how things have gone since you've been here. Name a time and a bar in Glenwood, Sidney, Plattsmouth or Nebraska City, whatever is closer.
