The only reason I go to a Doctor anymore is when its a life threatening situation, or i need a prescription. Why go to a doctor when i know enough about medicine to treat the minor to moderate? I know the side effects and usage reasons, as well as the recommended dosage, of most medicines and prescription drugs, and when i go to the doctors and they charge me $27 to put the blood-oxygen sensor on the tip of my finger for all of 20 seconds....I have better things to spend my money on.(Like my dream of a fender telecaster with a built in floyd rose, or the Gantz DVDs

) How many people can say they have recieved a correct diagnosis with only one test? A simple cough drags on for months, and your up to 2 a week doctors visits...paying for each and every test, co-pay, and "try this medicine" along the way. If at all possible, I avoid the doctor like I do my cellphone bill.
