Going to the Doctor for check ups?

[gorgonzola]

to all the guys on the board (since we tend to be the biggest offenders), we're NOT indestructable and just like our cars need some routine maintenance and "safety checks" every now and then to make sure things are in good running order!

ok, made the appt today. last time in was '03 for infected spider bite/prophylactic lyme antibiotics. she said they'd have to get my chart out of storage - not a good sign :blink:
first week in september was the soonest i could get in, maybe i'll post tr

Hell, after Warp's experience, I'm conflicted- either regular checkups are good, or, as in Warp's case, you don't know until you know.

Me, I see ER docs much more often than I see my "primary care physician." Every time I've been in the ER (for good reasons- dog bite, broken arm, slipped disk, whooping cough) they ask "Who is your primary care physician?" And every time, my answer has been "Dunno. I know I picked one for my insurance, but have no idea who it was."

Probably ought to change that routine, now that I'm officially in my "upper 30's"

That's pretty funny, I do the opposite.

When ever I'm in need some some medical care, I call up my doc and I can usually get a same day appointment. As soon as she sees me in the room, I get they "Ok, what did you do now" and "so when are you going to just come in for a regular appointment"

After reading about Warp...I'm calling the doc tomorrow and getting a physical. After all, I'm in my upper 30's now.:smash:
