misprint2 a piece of driftwood
I used to avoid seeing doctors at all costs. I realised the foolishness of that attitude when I was concerned about a friend of mine who by all appearances seemed to have contracted Lyme disease. I had to nag him for quite some time to go and see a dermatologist about it. It turned out he didn’t have it and he complained to me for about half a year how I had made him go to a doctor…
Back then I vowed to myself to see a doctor whenever I thought I might have symptoms. For the past couple of years I’ve been to several doctors for all kinds of things and never was anything the matter.
I really dislike the whole going to doctors thing and on top of that I now always feel like there won’t be anything wrong with me anyway and I’ll just behave like a hypochondriac. It’s very unpleasant. I’d love to just ditch my doctor-seeing-policy, but I feel like that would probably not be in line with this goal at all…
