Most of us do not visit the doctor regularly. Some think that an Annual Physical Examination is enough. While there are people who just visit the doctor when it is absolutely the only thing to do. Sometimes this applies if the illness is quite serious or a person is experiencing too much pain. Only then one would agree that a trip to the hospital or clinic is inevitable.

Sad to say, I am one of those people. I just find it intimidating to visit a doctor and most of the time I am nervous for the procedures. Even the simple collecting of blood for CBC is a frightening ordeal. It does not really hurt me but just the thought of getting pricked freaks me out. Well, I don’t know how it happened but that’s just me.

For me, this is not a good practice to continue. It is best to have regular trips to the hospital for check-ups and if there’s something that doesn’t feel right, go straight to a doctor to have it checked. These times, it’s getting expensive to get sick especially those that do not have health insurance or health card. It is better to nip it in the bud than to suffer in the end.
