My grandfather was a doctor and I was brought up with the don't-call/go-unless-you-are-on-death's-door-or-you-are-deformed metality. I do go once a year for the annual check up and need to go back to the allergist for testing and shot therapy (again). I don't think I've ever gone to the doctor due to illness. My trips have been the result of sports injuries and allergic reactions.
Once I went to my doctor because of a broken bone in one foot, which they think resulted from my over compensating due to a broken toe (soccer inury) in the other foot. My doctor asked why I didn't come in for the original toe injury. Told her the pain wasn't too bad and asked what could they do for a broken toe anyway? She replied that they could have provided me with one of those nifty little velcro booties. Nah! I preferred wearing my clogs and Birkenstocks to work. They are more stylish. Well, not much more.
