I don't go to any doctor unless I am totally nonfunctional. Like Frank, I can count the number of doctor visits in 75 years on my hands and not run out of fingers. I refuse to take meds, especially any thing that is " required daily " or any of the shots advertised as necessary on television. Frankly, they scare the hell out of me, the side effects are usually horrifying. This has served me well so far so I guess I'll stick with it as long as I can.
@Chris Ladewig Your signature could be mine as well. At 75 and 77, we have "beaten" the odds, and as you say, adverse events including death related to medications just isn't appealing. Frank
