It’s Mens Health Week! The theme this year is “Know Your Numbers.” Did you know that because men are so busy providing for their families, they typically do not take the time to ensure their health is on the right track. This week we encourage all the men and those who love them to make an appointment with one of our physicians to discuss your numbers.
What does that mean, you ask?? In your appointment your physician will focus on 3 types of numbers: Health metrics: Understanding and tracking important health metrics, such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels, can help men take control of their health. Statistics: Your provider will help you understand men’s health statistics to make evidence informed decisions about your health care. Contact numbers: Your provider can refer you to help and support services in times of crisis.
According to Dr. Lelcu, men only go to the doctor for two reasons:
1) They are dying.
2) Their wife/girlfriend makes them.
Do you have a husband or boyfriend who hates going to the doctor? Are you a man who injured yourself last weekend doing (fill in the blank)? Call North Star Family Medicine at 218-382-2870 for an appointment to discuss you (or your wife’s) health care concerns. Dr. Lelcu and our staff love visiting with men who hate doctors!
