I have just bought a house in town, so just something crazy to do, I walked to the Post Office for my mail, a round trip of 6.5km up and down many hills. I did the walk with one stop, at the Post office and drank 500ml of water and went home.
No problems doing it and when I have time might do it more often.
Now, I am 71 and fast become a target of medicals.
I am quite fit for age as I lead an active life BUT, I could walk out the door tomorrow and have a Aortic Dissection and drop dead on my lawn 😞.
Would a medical have found impending disaster? No, but a full CT/MRI would have, more probably than not. How far do we go with medicals for anything? Car, Truck, Employment etc etc?
Medicals need to be unworkably intense to catch many impending Medical events. Still, there can never be 100% success.
But our regulators are too fcking dumb to see the woods for the trees. Nothing can ever be perfect……
