I think I've been once or twice in the last 7 years.... If I'm not sick I see no reason going. That one time wasn't even becasue I wanted to go, it was becasue my mom made me, curse her! :)

Regualr doctor, GP.

Not very often, last time I went was maybe 4-5 years ago...of course I saw the doctor with some sort of frequency as a child though.

Twice since I was old enough to remember. Once when I was five I think, I had to get some shot, and again when I was 16, so I could get a physical in order to get a work permit.

In the past 10 years I've probably gone to a doctor 3 times, all for physicals. In the past 10 years I've also only been sick 3 or so times anyway.

I go so little, that everytime I do go I am considered a new patient. I do have to get a physical soon, for an ambulance drivers licness. I should get on that.

YOu should go regularly, they could catch something that takes years to develop into a real problem. Skin cancer for example.

I only go once a year for a checkup - I never go when I'm sick unless I'm certain my life is being threatened.
