It's never going to be quite as, um, thorough as a good ol' drop your pants, this might be uncomfortable
trip to the doctor's office, but Citizen's new CH-425P Personal Doctor will keep an eye on your health with daily
checkups by way of taking your blood pressure, weight, body fat percentage, and excercize, and computing those metrics
against one another in software (via USB, of course). Doubtful the CH-425P alone is going to extend your longevity into
the centenarians, but it might be a little better than an apple at preventing you from the usual derobing and getting
gowned at your physician's office, or that dreadful sound of the snapping rubber glove.

But who is going to prescribe all the useless and un-needed drugs? How is the struggling pharmicutical companies going to survice?
Where can I buy this item? Is it available for sale yet in the U.S. or online?
It only takes your blood pressure at the moment; things such as weight, body fat percentage and amount of excercise need to be inputted by the user. Citizen plans to release more add-on devices in the future though. More here:
