Even though I have health insurance I don't go to the doctor regularly and, if I'm sick I wait it out and don't go unless it's absolutely necessary. I had a stomach infection once for three weeks...the pain was intense...but I kept hoping that I would feel better the following day so I put off making an appointment. I finally had to go to the Emergency Room on a Sunday but I did follow up with a doctor and it cleared up.

Many thanks for nicely responding and sharing your views and experience. I agree with you, but don't you feel that delaying to consult a doctor in the situation of suffering from sever pain and ailment involves higher risk? Have a nice day!
