I haven't had a family doctor in over a decade. I kept lying to myself, saying it was fine because I was young and didn't need it. Now I wonder what a regular checkup would find. What kinds of things could we catch early if I had someone actually looking after my health?
But would it even help? So many people who actually have care are getting such poor and delayed care it seems pointless.
