When was the last time you went to doctor?

I am always in the doctors' office these days. Then again when you have to undergo a certain treatment like cancer, you usually have to visit their office frequently. I have a team that has been helping me through my treatment. I have two oncologists, a surgeon, an ObGyn, and a general practitioner. It has helped a lot and I do trust my doctors. I also have a great dentist and a good eye doctor that I go to as well. My doctors have helped a lot during my treatment. I am very grateful for them.

I was actually just thinking about this today. I realized that I have not been to the doctor since my checkup at the 2 week mark after my son was born. He will be 18 months old in a couple of weeks. I take my son for his regular checkups, but I don't go for myself. Most of the time I am relatively healthy, aside from the odd cold. I dread going to the doctor, so I avoid it at all costs. But I am thinking it would most certainly be a good idea for me to go in for a checkup, especially if I want to stay healthy.

That is right that we need doctor very much but we can avoid them by managing good diet and with the help of exercise dear. thanbks for Good discussion

I live in canada, so whenveer i wanna go to the doctor i can without worrying about cost. I wouldnt live anywhere else!! I dont go for every ache and pain though, but if i am sick or my kid is sick i dont have to worry a bout if i can afford to go! its awesome.

I go to the doctor every three months and I also go to the nutritionist every month to control my weight. What I fail to do is get a pap smear or a mammogram, my last one was done about 4 years ago or more.

i agree with u

I haven't been to a doctor in many many years. I need to go too, but I don't have insurance and can't afford it neither. I really need to get checked out, I think I might me having some thyroid problems. Take care Marcie.

It's been 2 1/2 years since I had a total physical. I can't afford to have one with no insurance, and I can't get insurance because I've had cancer :-( I did go to a free clinic a couple of weeks ago, and they said I have to get more testings done. Haven't gone yet, I know I can't afford a cat scan (the only cat scan I can afford right now is where my cat lays on the bed and eyes me sitting at the computer, although I think she might be just begging for extra kibble lol)

I did go when I bled a little a couple of years ago, I have a tendency to get ovarian cysts, but that was all. I am rather not trusting of doctors since I went to one in my late twenties and he decided to cut my fallopian tubes to try to make them straighten out. So the only time I do is if someone tells me what is wrong, like when I broke my wrist, but lately the last time with my cysts, there was such a long wait in the emergency room over eight hours, I told my husband, if anything is going to go wrong, I will not go to the doctor, I will just die.

I have a physical examination once a year and see my doctor as often as needed. There are a lot of problems that have no symptoms, so I try to get my blood work done as often as they allow me to. For instance, my potassium was low. It had the potential of being very dangerous. I didn't have any symptoms, but a blood test showed that it was low. They put me on two tablets a day and it was still low. At three tablets a day, it is fine, but my doctor says that I have to have it tested once a month. I am glad that this is something that they caught. You want to go to the doctor before symptoms start. Because sometimes symptoms mean that the problem has progressed to a dangerous stage.

The last time I went to the doctor was when I gave birth to my youngest son. That was almost 8 years ago! I hate going to the doctor (for myself), unless it is absolutely necessary like giving birth to my kids. :P So Marcia, how many years has it been since you've been to the doctor?

hey its been really long for me aswell.. Though i hate to go to them but i know i have to, so thanks for the reminder. And again with gods grace am doin fine and hope to continue... But I will soon go and have a visit.. Wish you good health!

That last time I went to the doctor was on Thursday. Suddenly started with chill and high fever. 105 degrees. I am immunosuppressed due to a immune disorder that I have which is currently in remission. It is a bummer though because it seems I am always coming down with something... Because of the immune disorder, I have been thru chemo and plasma exchange and have had lengthy and frightening hospital stays. I hate going to the doctor, but often have to.

i have many years since i visited a doctor, coz i'm a doctor, just a medical student in the final years, may i help you.

It was only the last month.I went for my annual medical check up.I went through the tread mill test,blood,urine values and ECG.So far so good.

I have to go regularly to see my doctor to monitor my thyroid as I have an underactive thyroid and my blood has to be taken so the dose can be lowered or highered if necessary, trouble is it is very very hard to find a caring, compassionate doctor nowadays, they treat you like numbers, and the amount of times I have never been seen on time, once I had to wait an hour over the time I was given! It's a bit much.

hello friend, i havent visited the doctor since last august. I ve a foot problem which a got 4 years back! Till today, i didnt go to visit the doctor fro my foot injury! I do feel problem in walking but i am lazy i should say!

I have to go every 6 months because I take meds for a cronic illness. I don't mind I just go ..I like my doctor and always have a nice chat..catch up on where his kids are etc and he asks about mine..we have a couple of our children the same age... oxoxoxoxo

The last time I went to the doctor was on December 12. The check up when fine and I didn't have to sacrifice my dignity.
