regular visit to doctor

I do not think we should visit the doctor if there is nothing wrong with us. Some people visit doctor because they have some sort of a imaginary sickness. The sickness might turn real. Some doctors might see you as their prospective customer and he might fill your hearts with fears about sickness that might not even exist. Go to doctor if you are really ill and not otherwise.

I think a bi-yearly check up is always necessary. Do I do this? No, absolutely not. LOL. I want to but I don't have health insurance right now (I'm awaiting acceptance to a state program). I think it's important..Just in case, you know?

It's right that we usually go to the doctor when we feel sick. But a regular visit - even once a year - to make a check up for a control of our health may avoid serious problems. There are some illnesses which need a time, sometimes days or even weeks or month until we start to feel the first simptomes and when they appear, it can be too late for any improvement. So even once a year, we should make a control to check up our health, even if we feel all right.
