[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure what to tell you about the dentist, but is there any small part of an exam he'd be ok with? Just a blood draw and bp check could tell you a lot; if he refuses to do that even just a check of the heart, lungs, neck would be a decent start.

Not sure how you'd get a GP to do an exam with restrictions but if he agrees to some part of an exam, you could always talk with your male GP to set the stage. Most good doctors are glad when people come in at all -- even if they aren't properly taking care of their health or are way behind on exams.[/quote]

My doctor is advanced in age and when I consider him retiring it concerns me.  We have spent a lot of time building a relationship that I am comfortable with and it has taken no small level of professional care on his part to reach that level.  I do not like the idea of taking any drug that is not ABSOLUTELY necessary and have accepted that my lack of following common medical procedures is likely to kill me.  Luckily he is one of these who understand "something is better than nothing" and has taken an abnormal amount of time to discuss options with me and even counseled me as to when the "last moment" I can wait for other issues is.  I asked about homeopathic remedies before and he has advised me what to watch for if I attempt them even when he does not think they will work.  [/quote]
