[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Annual physicals are mostly a scam. I don't need some kid interrogating me about how many drinks a week. My gyn does bloodwork and a complete physical. [/quote] What happens if you get sick? Or, if you develop high blood pressure? I doubt the GYN would handle all this for you. Or, do you go to a walk in clinic? Personally, I am not a fan of walk in places unless it’s the weekend and you have a clear cut issue like an ear infection.[/quote] If I get regular sick, I treat the symptoms and tough it out. If I get an infection, I call a doctor friend or relative for a prescription. If I get mystery sick, I avoid corporate PCP practices at all costs. My gyn does a lot, and if it's something she can't handle, I trust her referral for that issue. I come from a medical family and they all agree that annual physicals are for the bottom line, not for the patient's health.[/quote]
