When was the last time you went to the Doctor? (haven`t been since I was 9)

[wild willie]

Just had a checkup with my doctor last July....I try to get in there every couple of years.

[Dr Dutch]

I hate doctors..

[The True Adonis]

I hate doctors..

They aren`t very humorous or witty, thats for sure.

[dyslexic]

Once every 3 months.


Lab, follow-ups.


When you get older it's safer, smarter and sometimes necessary.


I have known too many folks that waited for years and years. When they finally went it was because symptoms had become unbearable, and of course, doing anything to rectify their situations was too far beyond repair.


Waiting to get regular checkups is a mistake. If you have insurance, use it.

Also, I am 170 lbs.  Not being obese and extremely lean is also great for health!

I thought being extremely lean (+ working out regularly) actually lowered your immune system to a degree.

What kind of stuff do they check for?

A couple years back I went to the doctors in Michigan to take care of a badly infected ingrown toenail. The antibiotics I got worked wonders but I was a little unsettled by the painkillers I was prescribed. I never really complained about the pain but the doctor prescribed me one of the more silently addictive painkillers there is: Tramadol. Since then I've looked it up and people that have come off both say that the Tramadol drawbacks are apparently only second to heroine. For an ingrown toenail mind you!!!

a week ago. I have sleep apnea

You can be 170 pounds and lean all you want, and your veins full of lard.  Go to the local plasma center, eat you a big mac before you go, and donate some plasma.....look at the filter when you are done!  It looks just like the grease that is left over after cooking bacon!  Eating non sense just now and again adds up!  Your local visit to the doc is not going to catch much.  And like dutch, not a big fan of physicians myself.

In the US millions are addicted to opiate based painkillers...

And I just went to the Dr, yesterday.

If my dad were alive today, he would be in his 80s.  He had me a lot later in life as you can see.

Pretty irresponsible on your fathers part it appears, no wonder you look down on people so much.

[apply85]

when you gonna expose me?

I`d say the opposite for many reasons.  The older the better in my opinion, not only financially but the values, wisdom and knowledge that is taught as a result of being older and from a different generation.


The worst, in my opinion, is the young mothers and fathers who can barely even take care of themselves let alone a child.  Generation Nothingness at its finest.

Oh I see people daily, I just avoid close contact.  The town I live in is beautiful, picture perfect.  The epitome of Small Town America except that its filled with Plantation Houses and Historic Houses etc...

I can walk to every single thing. Post Office, Numerous Restaurants, Parks, Antique Stores etc, Grocery Stores.   There are no mini-malls, no bars, no clubs nothing like that as it would ruin the Historical nature of the town.   My own property and grounds are park-like as it is and a wonderful setting.  I love working outdoors, planting trees, flowers and architecturally landscaping the grounds.  

I never understood the appeal of living on top of each other in a city, clustered like termites.

Your place sounds amazing.  Do you have any neighbors, or do you live by yourself on a plantation?

expensive wine

 

I also was born without wisdom teeth at all,

Can't believe no one ran w/this.

Every 2 months?  What for?  Are you expecting leukemia or something?

x2 ...why are some of you going to the doc every 2 or 3 mos

Maybe they need friends, or they enjoy prostate exams.

Butterbean has her pediatrist on speed dial.

[bradistani]

No smoking, no recreational drugs, no steroids, no alcohol except expensive wine-1-2 glasses at most every now and then (once a month or once every 3 months or so).
