My pleasant experiences in the barbershop are well documented. My father was a barber and I frequent the barbershop, once a week, for fun and relaxation and look forward to providing free medical advice in an atmosphere of fun and craziness.

These are some health tips that I recently suggested to the brothers:

• Know your family history. Genetics reveal an abundance of information
• Consider medical issues, such as hypertension, seriously when informed by the physician.
• Know that there will be medical issues as you age, checkups are essential, and prevention is the key.
• Know the difference between medical science and anecdotal care. Black men receive advice from people who have no clue about what they are verbalizing. Consult with your physician for information.
