I live in Canada, so there's no bill/insurance that the patient has to worry about, but its just such a waste of time! The last thing I would want to do when I have a flu or bad cold is wanting to get in my car, drive to the office, sit in the waiting room and then get told its a virus and to wait it out (duh). Even working and seeing doctors and nurses everyday I STILL don't want to bother them with some small things I have going on, lol.

I work in scheduling and some of the things I hear I think, "really?!". To me it's not worth the bill I get after the appt.

I am much much quicker to.call the ped and get LO seen. I haven't been to doctor for myself since my 2 year old was six weeks old. I also had like a million sicknesses this winter and just didn't even bother.

Now I don't even have to go yearly for paps; they recommend every 2-3 years if you've had a normal pap for 3 years in a row. Working in a GP office, it really boggles my mind how many people come in to see the doc for the smallest thing. Many a hypochondriac out there... derevival on "Do you go to the dr. often?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-the-dr-often#post-1642320 Sat, 17 May 2014 21:28:44 +0000 derevival 1642320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Before I was pregnant: only once a year for pap Mrs. Champagne on "Do you go to the dr. often?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-the-dr-often#post-1642306 Sat, 17 May 2014 21:22:05 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1642306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Just for things like regular paps.

I just never go but I've been so sick so often lately I'm starting to think something is wrong with me! mrsjazz on "Do you go to the dr. often?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-the-dr-often#post-1642054 Sat, 17 May 2014 19:12:03 +0000 mrsjazz 1642054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Um. I am horrible. I was very good about going to the doctor before LO. I guess I count seeing her pediatrician as going to the doctor. :silly: I have my first doctor's appointment since my 6-week postpartum check-up. LO is 2! matador84 on "Do you go to the dr. often?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-go-to-the-dr-often#post-1642050 Sat, 17 May 2014 19:09:34 +0000 matador84 1642050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I never go!!! Like I can count number of times on one hand for sick visits in last 10 years. Just since having my dd 3 months ago, I've had 2 fevers/chills episodes, stomach bug with vomiting and on my second stomach bug the other end, plus a heinous cold in between. Thinking about getting a PCP and just getting an appointment because I hate being sick so much!!!
