Red tape just to get some exercise

Some time ago I was working out in a gym nearby and the owners had a deadline to present a doctor's release form in order to continue working out there. Some government regulation. This is socialism at work. You can't do anything without the government sticking its nose in it.

Anyway, I went to the family doc, but she wouldn't give me the release form, wanted me to see a cardiologist because of age (as if I were getting old, hrmph!), even gave me my money back which I had paid up front. (Here, you pay the doc before the appointment.) By that time, considering the long wait before getting appointments, we were heading to the US, so I just dropped out of the gym and thought I'd set things up after getting back.

A year later ...

Now I'm going to this new doc whom somebody recommended, since in The Missus's experience cardiologists have not had a good record.

But all I want is a release form so I can exercise or swim or something.

Confirming once again my prejudice against the medical field.

Is there a witch doctor nearby I can consult with? Maybe there I can get in and out quick, for a small fee. And advice just about as good.
