I don't believe he asked her this question. I wish he had, and I will ask myself at my own checkup in two weeks.

It is a general practice in an area with a demographic that might be slightly older than the average suburb, but not by much.

I would think the demographic makeup of her practice has probably not changed much in the past year... so if you see no change in demographics but a huge jump this year in certain illnesses, it seems something odd is afoot.
