So many people miss appointments because they are afraid the doctor may say something they don't want to hear.

MOST people do not do regular checkups because they do not have $300 to $400 to throw away. Or they feel healthy so again, it would be a waste of money.

I don't go to the doctor unless something is wrong, and even then I'm reluctant. Almost every time I've gone to a doctor without already knowing what the problem is, most of the time they just write down what I say, shrug, and send me a bill.

I don't either. And I swear every time I go they push pills on me. They are worse than a drug dealer on the street corner. It is the same questions. Well how to you sleep. I have learned to say awesomely great. Because if I don't think are pushing pills on me for sleeping. Heck, last time he even wrote a script for sleeping pills that I didn't even know he wrote. I found out when I went to pick up the antibiotic that he prescribed because I was sick. And she asked about the other one and I was dumbfounded. What are you talking about? I told her he didn't even tell me he wrote that.

I do go to all my doctor appointments, but stay away from mammograms and colonoscopies! I've never had either one and don't plan it it anytime soon.

I do go for routine checkups and would recommend that everyone does the same to make sure that you are missing something that can cause problems physically

I don't. I don't like conventional medicine and try to take a holistic approach to health care. The problem becomes not knowing if you have an illness without going to the doctor. So it's tough to treat without knowing the cause.

I have to go at least once a year or my doctor will not refill my prescriptions.

With the cost of insurance, people are skipping regular checkups...
