does everyone go to the doctor just for check ups?

not everyone wants to go to the doctor especially kids coz theyre afraid to be injected or somethin && some people dont coz they dont have money to pay for it.. =(

I really don't go as often as I should. It's not that I'm afraid of the results it's simply that I just don't think to do it. Even when I'm sick I usually just try to let it run it's course rather than go spen 2 hours at the doctors office just to be seen for 2 minutes and then given a prescription.

Yes i go to the doctor for checkups becuase high blood pressure,diabeties,chlosterol runs in my family.

I go to my yearly check-up. My insurance pays for it- so I do it- THis is when I get my pap and go through all the other testing- Cholesterol, blood pressure, iron level, etc. I also get my prescription refill then- I think it is so important to be checked out yearly- I go each October- Now my sig. other will only go if he is deathly sick-- or had an accident- Other than that he is tough he tells me- He won't go-

I only go if I really really have to, which is when I need a perscription or I am really really sick and close to having to go to the hospital. I just feel that I don't have time to go otherwise. Like someone else has said, you could go there and wait for ages to be seen and only be in there for about 2 minutes.
