Doc asked me a bunch of questions.

He then added up some numbers and the told me I have a 21.3 % chance of dying in the next year. Seems a little high to me. Does that mean I have a 100% chance in 5year
I was planning on 15-20 years.

Well, it was nice knowing you guys.

[question everything]

1. Strange. Did they explain how they arrived at this number? I would seek a second opinion

2. I was in shock,

so I didn’t think to ask. Asked about life style, family history, etc.

3. Shame on the doctor for not elaborating, even if you didn't ask him a question.

He should have given you ideas of things to promote your longevity, if nothing else.

4. Sounds like he has a formula

You have to conform.

Looking at your avatar, are you a runner?

5. WTH, never heard of this. Find someone for a 2nd opinion.

What's the place coming to? Try to have a decent Saturday anyway.

6. Looked up "after visit report"

I thought he said one year.

10 year ASCVD Score. 21% sounds more reasonable now. That would take me to 81 years old.

7. I'd find a new doctor. 😬
