Funny this should be brought up, I've to get bloods done fairly regular which isnt too bad but the last time I was in I was forced into making an appointment for a full check up, it was suppose to be friday but unfortunately I'd to cancel!

No one is sticking fingers up my arse!

As Mr Anthony Soprano once eloquently put it "I don't let nobody even wag their finger in my face"

E500 seem spendy for a general check-up, if you have some kind of private insurance, don't they cover that once a year. I know mine does here (US), I resented paying my $20/week co-pay as well, maybe I'm getting value. That said I haven't done it for about 2 years even though it's free. Must get it done.

Haven't been to the Doctors in 5 years. Last time I went, he told me I'd be dead the next time he saw me if I didn't change my life style.

I made sure I never saw him again.

It must be 10 since I visited the dentist.

It's been statistically proven that more people die in hospitals that die in chip shops. I know where I'm going next time I get sick!!

Good luck with that prostate cancer then

If I'm going to get prostate cancer I'll get it whether someone sticks their fingers up my arse or not.

On the subject of dentists mine has gone private through this set up called Denplan. Costs me £30 per month for me and the missus. I'm going tomorrow for the first time in about 12 months. I'm actually hoping I'll need loads of fillings just to sicken the greedy cnut

You might have a fighting chance if they get their fingers up there earlier. Im with you on the nastiness of it, but cancer scares the, well shite out of me.

The wife just had to teach a room full of students how to perform rectal and pelvic exams on male and female patients last week. Cant imagine its fun being the patient model - and they only get 60$ an hour for having 20 students perform rectal examinations on them.

Christ!
They have to be getting something else out of it!

I guess theres bound to be one out of 5 or 6 who goes there not just for the money.

Puckoon if that's true, then statistically a few on this board fall into that catergory. OK guys, own up! Which of yous is it?

I took myself to the GP the other week after finding an irregular-shaped skin blemish on my forehead. As it turns out it was fine but the GP then decided to look at my back. Turns out I have a wee visit to a skin specialist to verify that some moles are not harmful. Bit of a concern but then what can I expect, working in one of the hottest, most inhospitable climates in the world. It's over 40C here now everyday and rarely gets below 30C at night.

You're right, I don't believe it.

You know, I was feeling great up to about 10 minutes ago and then I read this thread; now I've got f><king pains everywhere!

He is generally a pretty healthy guy but it seems he caught the flu from his son
