Whilst we are on the subject of doctors, why do some doctors insist that you have a follow up appointment so they can tell you everything is fine, see you in 3 years- this a waste of our time, the insurance money and our money if we have a co-pay, I also refuse follow up appointments unless they have found a problem.

You are just like me only different.

I trust the need for a follow up appointment in MOST cases and particularly if your trusted M.D. saw the need.

If I had had the time OR the smarts to go to medical school, I wouldn't need a doctor's advice.
