You are dependent on doctors,on the medicines ,are you afraid when something hurts you,are you in panic and go to the doctor immediately, or defer the pain to go to the doctor, thinking that you will pass quickly? Do you think it is important to go to the doctor immediately if we have a stomachache or a head or teeth pain? Or it's better to try a tea, or some advice from parents or grandparents to get over little pain?

I dont usually go to the doctor immediately. I'll try over the counter medicine and wait for how many days. If it wont work that would only be the time I'll go to the doctor. But if my son feel sick and hurt, I always immediately go and sick for doctor consultation. It's really different when it comes to your kids.

Yes we can ignore our pain because getting a consultation to the doctor is quite expensive. But if its our kids we could not ignore the expense that we are spending.

Whenever i feel pain i try first the over the counter medicines, observe for a week, if nothing changes that's when i go to the doctor.. Sometimes, i ask my parents what to do, they know better, especially moms.

I don't go to the doctors unless its feels like its the flue or life threatening. I can't stand goint to the doctors. Not to mention when you go and they give you medicine 9 times out 10 the medicine will make you feel worse. So I usually use home remedies, plenty of tea, vitamin C and lots of orange juice. Thankfully I don't remember the last time I was sick. As soon as I start to feel a little funny I will have a 1000 mg of Vitamin C in a glass of water and I'm good to go.

I really hate to go to doctor, i go only if i have serious problems, not for insignifiant pains. Only if after few days i will feel sick too, i ll go to doctor , but first i ll try to take medicines, or tea, or something what i know that will help me.

I never go immediately to doctor if something hurts me. I always think that nothing goes wrong and everything's gonna be okay soon. But if i can't take it anymore and if it's so hurt, I will go to doctor. But what if the part that feel hurt is heart? hehe.. I think I will need to go to a special doctor to cure that. But overall, I don't like to go to doctor, it scares me. So I'll try to always keep my good health so then I don't need to go to doctor and take many pills. yuccckkkk :P I wish that we are all always in good health. Happy mylotting and have a nice day ;)

I usually take over the counter medicines first but if it's not helping the pain then that would be the time that i visit a doctor.

No, I dont normally run to the doctors. I first will ask my mum and husband whether they know what it could be. I will try some things out myself, and also search the internet for information if it really bothers me. If the pain doesnt go, I start to think about visiting a doctor. Its my experience from the past made me act like that- when you go normally its just the time got wasted. Now for example I got this strange pain in my chest, and also a bit of breathing difficulties. It just gets worse- so I think I should see a doctor, but I dont really expect anything to be wrong.

It all depends on the kind of hurt, I prefer using herbals ( and medicine is made from herbals) and naturalistic way first. Now if I find something that is not right at all I will go to the doctors. I am not the type that will run to the doctors for any little thing.

I think doctors are busy enough without me clogging up their waiting rooms wth all my ailments! I don't consider myslef as a pill popper so I only take medications if I feel I really really need to. Si in response to your question, if I am sick to almost dying I will go to the doctors, but if the kids are sick I take them if they are no better after 24 hours of monitoring.

Usually If I felt any pain, I first drink some readily available medicines here in our house and see if it works. But if the pain goes on that's the time I seek for doctor's advice. As long as I can still handle the pain, I don't usually seek doctor's advice immediately.
