He doesn't like to go to the doctor at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1855430 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 18:32:01 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1855430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's good about going if he needs to - but he RARELY needs to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1855419 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 18:20:00 +0000 namaste 1855419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. He was raised in a never go to the doctor mentality and it is hard to get him to go. He's probably been like three times since we've been married, two of those were trips to the ER. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1855273 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 15:59:03 +0000 babycanuck 1855273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He used to fight me on it but since I found him a dr he likes he goes when I book it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1855271 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 15:58:06 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1855271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boheme: yes. This is my husband times ten. It's hard to find sympathy for him when he's so dramatic. I want to feel bad for him, but at this point, I just don't care anymore. Unless he is completely laid out, get over it lol poor DH.</p> <p>I have to be bleeding from my eyeballs before I'll go lol he has had to force me once or twice. My mom only took is if it was an emergency when we were kids so it's just not a thought in my head to go unless it's dire. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1855257 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 15:49:05 +0000 shortiecake 1855257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my (now) DH and I were dating, he kept urging me to go to the dermatologist for a skin check. Knowing it had been YEARS since he'd been to his GP, I told him I'd go to the dermatologist if he'd go for a check-up. </p> <p>2 and a half years later, I've been to the doctor multiple times and he's yet to go once. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1855068 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 13:59:54 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1855068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: This is DH. He goes to the dr much more than I do and is more willing to go for things where I tend to wait it out and see if an illness goes away on its own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854943 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 13:06:26 +0000 MrsF 1854943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to nag him like crazy to get him to go. I'm already badgering him about getting his flu shot before baby is born (not until december). </p> <p>He grew up in a very religious family that didn't believe in outside medical care or vaccines. He's not involved at all in the religion now, but he's still a little freaked out about doctors, etc. It's kind of hilarious because I'm a nurse and I grew up in a medical family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854929 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 12:59:07 +0000 Rocker2014 1854929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I have to nag nag nag to get him to go. It's like he's convinced that he's "bothering" the doctor if he goes when he isn't dying of something terrible! I constantly tell him "this is what doctors and health insurance are there for - they get paid to see you!" but he just puts it off, waiting for it to get worse so he has a real reason to go.<br /> I think it is because in his family they never took any of the kids to the doctor unless it was very very serious - but his mom was a nurse and could evaluate them at home so they didn't need to go often! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854918 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 12:51:51 +0000 Jess1483 1854918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We made a deal that if either of us asked the other to go to the doctor, we would no questions asked. I've asked him to go once when he normally wouldn't have, and I went to urgent care once when I wouldn't have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854721 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 11:44:25 +0000 mrsjyw 1854721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH is more diligent about doctor's appointments than I am. He doesn't miss any of his yearly exams. And goes right away if he's not feeling well.</p> <p>He also comes to every appt for DS as long as it works with his schedule and he also came to a lot of my OB appts when I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854706 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 11:38:28 +0000 LovelyPlum 1854706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I make the appointment, yes. Otherwise, he has to be really sick. This is very different from me, as I was raised in a household where it was the norm to go if we were sick. His was definitely not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854699 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 11:35:54 +0000 catlady 1854699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but luckily he really doesn't have health problems so it hasn't come up too many times. He'll get a flu shot or something every so often but he doesn't ever go for being sick and he doesn't do wellness exams either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854695 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 11:33:24 +0000 dolphin 1854695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before we had DD, no. Now he will go right away at the first sign of a cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854689 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 11:30:36 +0000 Mae 1854689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a serious battle. He has no issue going to urgent care/CVS clinic if he has an illness he wants antibiotics for (I actually think he goes more than I do because he always thinks every illness is horrible whereas I just wait for them to blow over mostly). But for a "problem" rather than an "illness"? No way. I suspect it is because his dad has MS and he's scared of a horrible diagnosis like that always? But then again he could just be a guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854607 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:36:08 +0000 Dandelion 1854607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. After all I went through with the gallstones, he goes whenever I suggest he gets checked out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854577 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:20:19 +0000 Freckles 1854577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before he didn't, but now he will. He was losing a ton of weight a couple of years ago, and finally after major nagging he went to the doctor. Turns out it was Graves' disease. Now he'll go without any protest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854564 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:15:02 +0000 BSB 1854564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, because of his health he goes pretty often. His Drs fit him in because he's special. (I'm being serious.) Now the thing he won't do is make the freakin' appointment. I really have to remind him to do that. He sees the dr often but never schedules anything when he's in the office. So when he does need to be seen, he has to wait an additional month or so to be seen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854563 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:13:26 +0000 yoursilverlining 1854563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boheme: haha, sounds like my husband! I feel like he's at the doctor all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854556 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:12:18 +0000 lilyofthewest 1854556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My ex-wife would go ASAP if I even casually mentioned that a symptom was kind of concerning and worth getting checked out. </p> <p>My sweetie, OTOH, has chronic gut/digestive problems that he didn't get evaluated (for two decades!) until I insisted. He went to one gastroenterologist appt a little over a year ago, and has since refused to go back for any of the follow-up that was ordered. His glasses prescription is also at least 4 years out of date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854555 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:11:34 +0000 MamaG 1854555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's improved. He was really keen on the ER for a bit, which drove me crazy! It's so wasteful when the things he was going for were at best urgent care and mostly likely could wait for a sick visit with the dr the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854552 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:10:47 +0000 autumnlove 1854552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually, if he isn't at work or busy with the kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854551 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:09:43 +0000 snowjewelz 1854551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH hates doctors too! He had spent a lot of time at the hospital and so he reaaaally hates going. I've slowly gotten him to go get all his regular check-ups for family's sake :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854538 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:05:16 +0000 cmomma17 1854538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: my DH had a similar ankle incident!! So frustrating. He never goes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854532 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:04:17 +0000 LuLu Mom 1854532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, he has to feel really bad to go to the doctor's office, honestly I cant' tell you the last time he's went! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854531 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:03:39 +0000 IRunForFun 1854531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, he'll wait until it's basically an emergency. He suffered with a terrible cold for like 3 weeks last winter while I begged him to go to the doctor - he finally went and had bronchitis and a sinus infection, which abx cleared up in like 2 days.</p> <p>Recently he "sprained" his ankle really badly and refused to see a doctor even though I begged and begged. 4 weeks later when it wasn't healing, he finally went in...to find out he had broken his ankle and torn a tendon. </p> <p>Sigh. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854528 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:02:40 +0000 ValentineMommy 1854528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH never goes...it's annoying since I pay to have him on my insurance lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-ask-your-so-to-go-to-the-doctor-will-heshe#post-1854525 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:00:50 +0000 Boheme 1854525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He goes if he so much as stubs his toe. Dramaaaaaaaz with that one if he is sick. He goes to the doctor for colds! </p>
