These people are 25-30. Death at an early age sometimes is a calling. Unless you let me leash them and let me drag them along on a jog, a Dr. telling them they have bad hearts at a cost of 5K for appraisal and a lifetime of nickel and diming isn't going to change anything.

And my 5yr old neice could tell they have health and or heart problems never mind the medical degree
