do you like to see a doctor when you only catch a cold or stomache

I don't really go and see a doctor when I only have a cold or stomach...I usually rely on easily bought medicine for cold and stomache and they work fine for me I only go to the doctor when I am really feeling very sick or when I need to get the doctor's letter to be excused from work.... And I agree that not all medicine prescribed by the doctor works very well...mostly because they are very mild

I don't like to see a doctor, too. It's not the reason of doubting the doctor, but only I hate the smell in the hospital. I could eat medicine seriously when I catch a cold.
