[quote=Anonymous]I get a physical from my internist once a year -- separate and apart from the pap smear at the OB. I had a rough year right after DS was born, and was sick pretty much non-stop for twelve months. I got tired of going to urgent care over and over, and wanted to have a lasting relationship with a single physician. So when I get sick now -- last year I had pneumonia -- I can go to someone who knows me and understands my medical history. Plus, when I see her for my physical, she makes sure I'm on top of all the other things -- mammograms, dermatologist/mole checks, etc. -- and runs bloodwork so I'm on top of my cholesterol numbers and the like. I wouldn't necessarily say that a physical is necessary every year, but I find it very comforting and useful.[/quote]
