How many doctor appointments do you have a year? I probably have three a month, but that’s way less than I had when I first got sick a couple decades ago. Of course, back then I was also having hospital visits and scans and EEGs and who knows what else. I’m grateful those times are over. I know some of you are proud that you don’t go to the doctor at all. But for the rest of you, how many times do you go to the doctor a year?

Around 2 or possibly 3 times. I don't have any major health issues.

@snowy22315 Maybe it’s those clinical studies you’ve done in the past that confused me. Or it’s always possible I’ve lost my mind.

It’s great if you don’t need to, Anna. My dad goes to several a year, but he thinks it’s all a racket. Because here, at a certain age, they want you to see a cardiologist, a urologist, and your primary care a couple times a year at least. He thinks it’s a scam, but he goes because it makes my stepmom feel better. And if insurance will pay for it, then he’ll placate her.
