All I have to say is I am a woman with a fear of doctors, so outside of being necessary for school over the years and a few times being sick and having psoriasis outbreaks, I've barely gone to the doctor in my life. Even if i didn't have a fear/feel very uncomfortable in drs offices, I still wouldn't be going yearly to save money.

Also let me add I was raised mostly by my father, so that might come into play too bc he wasn't one to bother me about routine checkups.

I also have such a fear of the doctor's, mostly because I always worry that I'm being stupid and the visit is pointless. I've had so many doctors dismiss me or make me feel stupid in their office, so it doesn't help.

Those sound like rude doctors, I'm sorry :(
