Seeing your primary physician

Post Reply New Topic

Are you more likely to seek out medical care or put it off.

I went yesterday.

My wife had been suggesting it for about 4-5 days. I kvetched about the high co-pay at E. R.
Doc agreed with my wife.
Docs parting words were if I didn't quickly get better GO to the dreaded E. R.

My wife with here great sense of humor said $200 copay going to the E R. And you'd be alright or don't go and your DEAD.
No brainer.
My wife has taken to heart speak clearly and succinct to me. (One of our Counselors great suggestion. )

When I become ill or injured for reasons within my control (cold, pain, etc.), I treat myself. When I determine that my illnesses and injuries are beyond my control, I go to my physician or a hospital emergency room. Medicine isn't exactly rocket science; I have accurately diagnosed and treated most of my medical problems for years. Just 50 years ago, most people still kept medical encyclopedias in their homes and treated most common illnesses and injuries. I do the same.

I try to do research & wait things out but I'll go to the doc if it's serious or if I've been having the issue for a while. I do treat some things myself thou cuz I don't think my doc would treat them the way I'd want to be treated so i buy the meds online from overseas pharmacies I've been using for years. I do abit of research on those meds before I decide to buy em. I also treat some things by buying supplements off Amazon & eBay.
