I just finished lecturing both of my parents that they're way overdue for a routine checkup (plus they're now at an age where it's colonoscopy time!!) and I was just wondering how many of you go to the doctor routinely i.e. besides when you're actually sick.
I've actually recently been thinking about this for myself as well. I came to the realization that while I still think of myself as quite a young man at 28 years old that the reality is that I'm not a teenager any more and should also get some routine bloodwork done. Despite studying this crap for the last 3 years, it's never really occurred to me that I need to actually put it into practice for myself. I guess I still have that "I'm invincible" mentality because I hardly ever get sick and feel quite well yet I could possibly be walking around right now with ****** cholesterol, pre-hypertension and high blood sugar.
PS Thought about adding a poll. Don't really think it's necessary.
