Depends. If I'm trying new drugs(only tried them twice) it's on a regular bases. However I've stopped taking the pills so haven't been in several months. Without being a guinea pig it's very rare. Maybe once a year at best.

I think the last time I went to the doctor was when I blew out a disk in my spine. They did an MRI, I had surgery, and the last time I saw the doctor was the follow up. That was about 1 year and a half ago.

Annual checkups which are "free" under my plan (using the word "free" very loosely, considering those costs are baked into the plan itself), so it'd be a waste of money if I didn't use them. In the past few years, I've seen my doctor (or perhaps a nurse practitioner at his office) once for a tick bite and then I think one other time for something.
Other than as an aftermath from a doctor appointment, I don't really get sick... well, from colds. I'll occasionally have stomach problems from bad dietary habits, etc. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...

My last job gave us a quick health screening (cholestrol and blood pressure) and hearing test. Beyond that, and the time I spent in a hospital after a bad car accident in 08, I haven't been to see a doctor in almost 15 years. Partly because I'm lazy, but mostly because I don't have insurance.

And, for whatever reason, I also stopped during the Matt Smith era.

Given I have multiple chronic health problems, both mental and physical, and am a 90%-to-full-time wheelchair user... less than most people would probably expect me to.
Most of the time, my prescriptions continue as usual, even the weekly one for my pain meds, unless I need to get something altered or have my annual check on them. I have physiotherapy exercises I do at home & see the physio at my local hospital every 2 to 3 months or so, but I see my GP maybe 3 or 4 times a year unless we've got something specific in the pipeline (like now I need to make an appt with him to talk about an MRI scan he sent me for) or they request to see me. --- Trialia ~ unfaithful-mirror.net PSN: Trialia_X, Xaedere (100%) | XBL: trialia, Noquelle (100%) ...

I would recommend a yearly physical if you are able to, especially once you hit your 30s. Blood work and urinalysis.

It was just one bad episode after another for the most part. I liked him though and his portrayal. This is where I sort of am. I liked Matt Smith as the Doctor. I like Peter Capaldi as the Doctor. I don't even entirely mind Jodie Whittaker as the Doctor, though it feels like they handled every aspect of that situation in the worst possible way, ensuring there was going to be backlash. The real problem is that the writing has been getting progressively worse and worse ever since Steven Moffat took over, and despite a lot of people hoping things would get better after Moffat left, it seems like Chris Chibnall is just making things even worse. It doesn't matter whether or not I like a given actor as the Doctor, if I don't like any of the stories they're in. Basically, they took 8 years to utterly kill any interest I once had in a show I'd previously been a fan of for almost 30 years. At this point, even if they got a new showrunner, a new Doctor, and the scripts radically improved, I doubt I'd even bother trying to get back into it again. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...

Zeus posted...And, for whatever reason, I also stopped during the Matt Smith era. Wrong thread, guys. If you're going to rant about Doctor Who, make another. =P Though to some extent I agree (re. Chibnall, who should never have made showrunner). Besides which, whatever you think of Matt's acting in that role, the guy himself is a sweetheart (I've met him a few times now). Now, non-fictional medical doctor thread? I just got a message from one of the GPs at my practice poking me to get my morphine dosage reviewed - again. I think she misread the review due date on my record, since it says July 7th 2020. But if I don't do it today, she won't issue my weekly repeat, and I need that.

I have always and will always have to go to the doctor all the time. I was a failure to thrive baby, a sickly kid, a sickly teenager, and a sickly young adult. I always gotten sick more often, more easily, worse, and for longer than everyone around me.
I had a few years in the middle there where I didn't get sick much, and even a really short time where I felt healthy. Then I got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and it all went downhill from there. Add that to losing my mind a couple years ago, and I'm going to be seeing a neurologist and a psychiatrist several times a year for the rest of my life. As well as the GP when I get sick because my immune system sucks. And regular trips to hospitals and/or imaging places for MRIs. And vial after vial of blood tests. --- `Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, and the mome raths outgrabe. ... Copied to Clipboard!
