How often you visit a physician/doctor?

[DubWolf 17,139]

Go every year? Go every week :-o ? Or do you just never go for some reason ?

 

I haven't in a while . Normally if I'm sick I just take some medicine/medication :-p.

I try to not go as much as I can since right now I have zero insurance. One trip to the doc and back to debt.

[Kiri 7,287]

I try to remember to visit the doctor once a year for a checkup. I have gone a couple of years without seeing one before out of forgetfulness.

[Ganondorf8 11,241]

I think I visit the doctor every few months to renew presciptions, get myself examined, and so forth.

[Mesme Rize 15,683]

If i don't get sick, atleast once a year for a routine checkup. If i do get sick, i always go to him, since most medical procedures are free in germany, including a normal checkup.

I need to go once every 2 years for my diving physical so I can keep working. Last time I went to my regular doctor for a check-up was about 5 years ago. Last time I went to the hospital was 2012 which is where I was first introduced to MLP.

 

I don't seem to have many problems at all physically and if I do have a problem I generally deal with it myself. I'm very Type A personality in the sense that I hate getting help, even medically. I have an issue with pride. XD

Woah a check up is free in germany? Man that's awesome. With insurance here in the us for me it was 15 bucks, with out its 100.00.

I will be honest. I don't like the healthcare system in the united states. The fact that you have to pay a large sum, for an operation, that might be important (Heart operation for example) is scary for me.

 

If a doctor in germany, notices during a checkup a life threatning disease, you will be send immediatly send to the hospital and all will be paid by the state.

I think I'd rather live in germany at this point. I'm afraid of going to the doctor here since things are usually so expensive. I just wish America would get with the plan and just do what everyone else does..but no we have to be complicated.

I don't go to the doctor unless I have no other options. I can take my own medicine, stitch my own wounds and kiss my own boo boos without draining a pint of blood and offering it to those vampires we call the health care industry.

 

I also feel a lot of Doctors are less interested in how you physically are doing or feeling, and more on what prescriptions they can stick you with that will earn them the most green. Not saying it is all like that.. just that I have seen a lot of stuff that is pretty sickening when it comes to treating the sick.

Yes you understand. I swear I've has so many docs that do that whole happy routine but don't actually listen to me. At a skin doc I waited 2 hours after my appointment just to hear to use the same meds I've been using for 10 years that are not working.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,226]

Not all that much, which I know that isn't the best idea. Hospitals and such really scare me and stress me out. :c

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

I'm scared of doctors and hospitals. Talking makes me nervous. Being around others makes me nervous. Just being there makes me nervous. I never liked going. They bring back bad memories too.

[Lucky Bolt 35,058]

I used to go once a year when I was younger, but nowadays.....well, let's just say I haven't been to the doctor for a checkup in a long time.

Why the hell would I go to see some quack to tell me what I already know? My grandpa, had this thing on his back for years it was just fine. Goes to the doctor, boom all of a sudden it's cancer.

[Thuja 3,658]

I typically go every few months to get my check up and bring up anything I want to talk to her about.  Lately though, I've been going more frequently since getting these bad headaches whenever I squat too much which makes exercise fun...

[Venomous 18,859]

I only see my physician when I am going in for my annual examination or if i'm ill.

[Phosphor 11,528]

Not very often in my late teens and up to mid 20's. That has changed in the last 2 years. I try to go at least once a year.

[Nsxile 26,779]

I usually go once every year.
