Going to the doctor is essential to staying healthy. of course going to the doctor can scare people at first. it is understandable that people can be afraid. so why not go to a doctor if it can prolong your life???

People in general are scared of going to the doctors, but if they have medical insurance or a health plan I believe they should take advantage of it. Now for an individual or family who don't have any coverage need to do some researching. It's important for a person to understand their digestion system and food sources of essential minerals.  From there you would know more or less how your body functions and what are the pros and cons of your body. In absorbing or taking any herbal remedies and staying healthy.

Yes. Going to the doctor at least once a year is a must.  Everyone needs to take the yearly physical provided by your community clinic or your personal doctor. That way you know ahead of time the status of your health eventhough a physical exam does not tell you 100% everything that's going on inside our body.

Very true... A physical exam does not let you know everything that made be functioning improperly, but of course its still important to take advantage of being checked once a year. Unless your blessed and know what over the counter medicine you can take for the moment or remedies you can make to cure your sickness. BUT.... PLEASE IF YOU HAVE MEDICAL COVERAGE USE IT, don't be afraid of going to the clinic or hospital.

On top of that, insurance company does not cover certain premium prescription. In most cases, you have to settle for generic drugs.

Just to know you won't be cover fully is a shame... This is the reason why most people can't get the help they really need.  Especially people who have: Cancer, HIV, or certain complications such as Bacterias that are really hitting hard and putting people in comas.
