When guys are sick, do you, or they go to the doctor?

I think my husband is too stubborn too. The whole time he was sick all he kept saying was, I cant go to the doctor, I need tires put on my truck. He made me so mad when he did that. I couldnt realy afford to pay for him to go, but I would have came up with sometihng. And we are still trying to get it fixed and put new tires on it before it snows too bad.

Well I finally got my husband to go to the doctor... now he has pneumonia. I hope he gets better quickly. Its scary to see him like that.

I usually take OTC stuff if I am really sick, but otherwise do nothing different. I haven't had a primary doctor since I was 18 and left the care of my pediatrician. I have had OB/GYNs when I was pregnant but only see them when I am pregnant. Recently I found a primary doctor to get tests for somethings so I do now have a doctor if I really needed to go. Actually my kids have had a couple of "sick" visits but nothing serious. We had to take my oldest to the ER when she was 11 months because she was running a fever of 103 under her arm. It was just a virus and fever broke that night and she was fine. Then she had one other "semi-sick" visit when she was 20 months. We were at a check up for our son and asked the doctor to just take a peak at her eyes because they were crusty. She had pink-eye so he set up a file for her and checked her out. And one other time I took her to the ER because when she was 3 because she said her head hurt and she had woke up screaming and confused. But we left before she was seen because she was feeling better. Other then that she has only been to the doctor for well visits. My son has had 2 "sick" visits. One was to have a doctor look at a sty in his eye that wouldn't go away after a month. The other was an ER trip when he dislocated his elbow, but he really wasn't sick so not sure if that counts. The other two have never had sick visits (they are 4 and 7 months). I don't think a cough and runny nose need a sick visit to a doctor. I just give them cough medicine and that is it. They have never had sore throats or ear infections or any thing like that.

I havent ever met anyone who hasnt been to the doctor for sick visits before. I think congrats are in order. Do you ever take anything over the counter when you are sick? Or just not take anything? My husband gets whiny too when he is sick. The past month has been one of those months where everyone was sick. First him, then all three kids. I got lucky and didnt get sick. I am glad because I was always doing something for one of them. I hope you stay healthy.

I am glad that yours will go to the doctor when he needs too. Thanks for your response

Wow. I have heard that some people think they are having a heart attack with a panic attack. I hope everything is ok now. I am glad that he got the help he needed.
