United has improved with still room for improvement. I swore to never use DL again in 1993 and still haven't been on one of their planes.... I really showed them!!
It’s been 30 years - anymore most of DL now is what used to be Northwest Airlines back then.

How do you guys feel when the Thais call us "Uncle" ?
it took me a while to get used to it....
I think it’s a cultural thing - it’s a show of respect more than anything

There are a few variations of this Quote but I like this one: Every man desires to live long, but no man wishes to be old
It might not be offensive ore meant as an insult, I'd rather be referred to as mature.
Old and mature do not necessarily mean the same thing - there are plenty that are old and immature

How much do they charge for such long term?
And do you have to pay extra for Chlamydia? 😜

That must have been some medial school you attended. Most internists require battery of tests and personal exams to do the same.
Anybody who has ever used differential diagnosis would identify such tell-tale signs by just observing people. Multiple comorbid conditions stem from obesity, which is hard not to notice. Other factors that could be based on appearance alone are observing the largest organ - skin, as well as speech/breathing and ambulation/movement. These plus a brief interview with a patient would lead to testing to confirm or rule out a number of conditions, some if which have already been mentioned. A few others could be HTN, COPD, CHD, heart failure, etc.
Just like some people pride themselves that their experiences/insights allow them to tell straights from gays, or those working from ones looking for hook-ups, experienced physicians cannot help but notice some of the clues that help them do their work day in, day out.

Why wouldn't the proposed treatment be evaluated in a clinical trial, if it purports to have any merit?
Because it takes time, finances, institutional sponsors, and other resources to deal with multiple red tapes, hurdles and bureaucracies, imposed both by governments and the competitors.
What’s wrong with letting one try, I don’t know, listening to music, or breathing exercises, or concoctions of some herbs or spices, as long as they do not interfere with treatments they are undergoing through their physicians/clinics?
How about the benefits of placebo effects? They sure have been reviewed and researched!

The fried chicken for breakfast thing is out of the ordinary for Japanese, but drinking beer at 7am while starting a vacation is not. Still, I'm always surprised by this behavior whenever I start a trip in Japan on a long-haul bus.
I thought Japanese breakfast staple was Natto or a type of congee…
I don’t think I could do beer for breakfast. To me, early morning beverage is Bloody Mary (or, Maria when in Jalisco), unless, of course, it’s the hair of the fog that bit you… For late breakfast/brunch I enjoy well drinks: Mimosa, Screwdriver, Bellini, Campari Orange… Irish coffee is good at any time of day or night, as is tea with a generous splash of cognac or brandy (sorry, I can’t do milk with my tea).

For years I use Kayak.com to find my flights as seems to work well for me
Kayak also had an option of selecting +-3 days for both outbound and return dates, which effectively captures 7 days of flights each way and uncovers those airlines and routes that may only be available on certain days of week

Like any treatment for any serious illness, one should only accept treatments which have been subjected to scientific scrutiny, including randomized controlled trials conducted at reputable cancer centers.
Unless you are running out of time and proposed holistic/non-traditional “treatments” do not interfere with protocol(s) recommended by your physicians.
