I was sure this was about me at the RC... my doctor says I'm "athletic" in measurements pertaining to BP / Blood work / pulse etc. (And yes, liver & kidney functions are normal - Weird right?)

I've never heard anyone say someone is athletic based on vital signs and blood work. If everything was within normal limits, I'd say you are healthy.

i went to the emergency room with a broken wrist when i was 21... the triage nurse took my vitals... blood pressure and heart rate... actually took my heart rate twice... second time for a complete minute.... before writing down 40... when i finally seen the doctor, he took a quick look at the admitting chart and knew exactly how i broke my wrist, and i had told no one at the hospital how it had happened!
Full disclosure... i had a nasty scrap across my forehead as well.

Yeah, I don't think that really had anything to do with your vitals or HR. Same vitals in an 80yo and the person likely needs a pacemaker. Vitals are just numbers and need to be interpreted appropriately. Someone can't have "athletic" vitals or bloodwork.

Believe you me, I'll gladly take (to many people's surprise I'ms ure) healthy. Though, this is the 2nd time I've gotten the "athletic" range label - seems more tied to Blood Pressure and pulse and the first time was by a nurse taking blood.

I love going to doctors... one of the few places that's expected.
