How often do you see a doctor each year?

[ZZman]

Unfortunately for me it is about 4 times a year (every 3 months). They don't like refilling prescriptions without see you and running labs etc... Did I say getting old sucks?

 

[Mr Nice]

Once a year.

As I get older... a lot more, and more different docs. Probably 3-4 on average, counting annual physical and a couple of specialists.

Yearly, unless my wife throws a fit!

Trust me it beats the option in most cases!

 

[zzyzzx]

Never. Don't want to and with my health "insurance" you would really have to be in a life threatening circumstance to even consider it.

Not too often. The doctors mess you up as often as they fix you.

 

[02SE]

Generally once a year, or as necessary.

 

[RitcheyRch]

Primary care doctor twice a year. Other doctors as needed.

Been twice in the last 35 years, then it was for blood pressure,I am 70 now so, who cares.

 

[PeterPolyol]

Statistically about 0.08 (or less) times annually? Ontario has Health Coverage so it's not a matter of economics at all

Only if I break a bone.

Couple times in the past 10. Once for a papilloma virus freeze that got out of hand on my knuckle then another time for mandatory work physical. My BP has been 175/140 for over 2 years. I should get that lowered. Would bleeding a pint knock it down?

Wow! You need to lower your stress levels. And (Pop_rivit voice) you need to eat and drink healthier. And each time you stress while at the dealer, YOU should be the stresser, not the other way around...

Twice a year. Doc renews my prescriptions for every six months, won't do it for a year. Gotta get that office visit money.

 

[CourierDriver]

about twice a year,,,VA clinic, blood test, and eye checkup, AND MEDS check...I call it my Nam policy, lol

 

[geekster]

I have to go 6-9 times a year. Mine is for migraines and seeing my neurologist to adjust my medication. Stinking migraines.

I [censored] my doctor off so I haven't seen him for about a year now. Either that or he doesn't want to see me because he mis diagnosed a hernia and he probably knows I'm going to give him [censored]. Works for me. I once had a doctor have me cone in like every 3 months just to talk. Never even tested anything for my asthma.
