Last month for a check-up.

I go once a year for a physical and blood test. I'm not sure why anyone WOULDN'T do that.

I think within the last 6 months although might have been longer, I only go see a doctor when I seriously can not put up with whatever is wrong anymore

Easily gone 10 years without seeing a doctor before

[Intrinsica]

I think about 4 years ago. The only reason for going was that it was mandatory as part of the job, otherwise I'd probably be looking at something more like 12+ years.

Few weeks ago. I do not have very good health so i go regularly.

[Coagulated]

I've been there far too much recently, everything is just falling apart at the same time!

-Put my back out for the second time about 3 months ago. It's apparently structural damage that'll take aaaaaages to heal. I injured it... nearly 5 years ago?!
-Suspected tinnitus. Hearing test has shown my hearing is fine and there's no visible damage (I worked in a nightclub for three years). So, I'm off for an MRI scan on September 11th (lucky omen) because they think I might have something pressing on my brain!
-Mysterious lump on the side of my forehead that fluctuates in size. Got to the size of a golf ball one night. Just recently had an operation... surgeon found nothing. He thinks I have a messed up blood vessel.

I hardly ever have to go to the doctors. Prior to this stint of everything breaking at once, I'd been to the doctors once in 12 years, and that was when I first injured my back.

When you have no reason to go, it's kinda pointless.

15+ years ago

ill be 33 in October and the last time i went to the doctor that i remember was probably around 15-16, possibly younger.

as far as going to the doctor for being sick etc... that was probably 13-ish or younger i suspect.

i am thankful for my generally good health as i hope i don't have to go to there into the foreseeable future as i don't have health insurance.

6 months IIRC.

[KingCracker]

3 weeks ago and I don't mind paying my own doctor bill .

[Hum]

medical or mental ?

[qdave]

2 years ago because of low calcium and failed to come back for a check-up.

Just over a year ago. Got into an arugment with the doctor - fired him and haven't been back. I was awaiting some very important test results from a CT Scan - he left w/o notice after the tests and I had to wait for him to return from his vacation. He didn't seem to care about my results and never had a different doctor fill in for him. He insulted me over the phone and that was the end of my business with him.

Now, am without a doctor and am still searching. Major problem where I live though, doctors are divided into about two major medical groups, one I am banned from (Ex wife ran up a major bill with them and used my name after divorced, and I challenged them on it, they banned me from coming back. ), The other is where my ex doctor works and they are all the same there as he - condecending and very spendy.

So, will be looking at smaller practices.

It's been 8 years since I've been to the doctor. I remember it like it was yesterday.
