How often do you go see/consult a doctor....when you feel deathly ill? For regular checkups and annual screenings/exams? Every time you sneeze?


I only go when there's something specific I need accomplished, like a stronger eye prescription, or a physical/blood work for insurance....which is about once a year.

The rare occasions where I catch a flu or cold, I'm inclined to just catch up on sleep and consume just fluids.

I get to go every week for a condition I have. I can't praise Jesus or share him here on earth if I am dead. When God wants me home, it will happen, no matter what medical science does.

I go to the doctor about once a year to re-up on my thyroid medication, which used to be synthroid and that was a 10 year horror story. I now take Armour which is a natural thyroid much better, I also take kelp and lugols iodine. I feel much better.

I dont go to Doctors as all.

See Most Doctors are nothing more then a drug pushers for BIG PHARMA.

If i wanted to take pills that were bad for me, id just go to the street corner drug dealer. it would be cheaper as well.

I go once every 3 or 6 months for testings.
I had ovarian cancer and following surgery I have regular tests taken.
Blood tests etc.

Feel so alone with it.
and some one who was supposed to be there was laughing with friends at me not with me..
Like that couple i write of i am trying keep away from me.
some times some one elses ill health , death, suffering can bring others great joy, money or much energy and happiness.

Have tests coming up again soon.

I do worry cause i am always exhausted and still been working so hard.
Wanted some love life b4 i die and will pray for it.

Last dr visit showed a something on liver but was not cancerous but keeping check on it.
Am very disaponted by way i been treated and all been allowing it.

Will keep working and hope clear things up soon.
and pray for help and /or that things be cleared up.

If I have pain that I feel needs a doctors attention or if something is not right (such as a rash or something along those lines)
About once every two months I would say.

I won't visit doctor for myself unless if fever is not coming under control. It happens once in 2 or 3 years based on the local infections causes due to polluted water and having non hygiene food.

If it is not reduced after few visits to the same doctor and reduced immediately after consulting another doctor, then the 1st doctor will have to listen my words. Will check his actual professional qualification, if found fraud, take him to behind bars.

I have not been to the doctor for awhile which is good for me considering how much I have been to the doctor. The last time was for the flu virus.

I do plan to do a total medical examination.

I go every 3 months to manage my diabetes. Plus yearly eye exams. And the yearly ER visit, cuz stomach viruses could kill me. And I get really dehydrated. It's safe to say, that the doctor is my second home.

It's no fun, huh? maybe we will be really healthy in our old age, seeing as we seem to be getting all of our sickness out of the way now!

I go every couple months, but I have a few health problems. If you think that something's very wrong or your illness has consumed your life (missing work, school...) or affecting your emotional health, it's probably time to see a doctor.

I have no insurance so rarely. I had a lot of health problems before I lost it and I went a lot. Health problems are more bearable now, praise Jesus :)

Sadly yes the doctor is a regular for me, I have many medical issues diebetes brain damage and for some reason my bones have been killing me and of course the doctors don't know what it is or how to fix it. If it were my choice I would have God heal me of everything but it was not part of his will, so i just keeping moving forward and assume he knows what he's doing. Doctors don't ever seem to fix things they just give you pills that are supposed to help, sometimes they do I need sleeping pills. And until my health issues are fixed if I do not take my medicine odds are I will go into a comma or die. But honestly I do wish I did not have to go the doctors anymore but things just are as they are, but the way I see it there are people with far worse issues

For my health condition my family know more about it than many doctors, which means I only need to go to the docs about once every two years for a check up.
