Additional information that may interest you
============================================

Here are a few brief excerpts from a New York Times article titled
?The Standard Checkup? Well, Not Exactly? by David Tuller.

?Known as executive physicals, these services combine personal
attention with the latest medical technology. The examinations
generally include blood tests, ultrasound studies, EKG's, stress
exams, sigmoidoscopies, bone density evaluations, full-body CAT scans,
body composition analysis, hearing and vision tests and mammograms and
Pap smears for women. Patients often meet with a cardiologist,
gastroenterologist, audiologist, endocrinologist, neurologist,
orthopedist, dermatologist, psychiatrist, nutritionist and any other
specialist deemed appropriate. At the end, there is advice on stress
management, exercise and changes that can reduce risk factors.?

(?)

?The Cooper Clinic is one of a handful of medical institutions that
have served the well-heeled for years. Others include the Cleveland
Clinic in Ohio, the medical center at Johns Hopkins University in
Baltimore and, of course, the world-famous Mayo Clinic in Rochester,
Minn, whose patients have included King Hussein, Ronald Reagan,
Muhammad Ali and the Rev. Billy Graham.?

(?)

?Sentara in Norfolk, which advertises in publications like Millionaire
and The Robb Report, started its executive program in 1997, and now
conducts about 600 examinations a year. At Stanford University, the
Menlo Medical Clinic created a similar division two years ago.?
