I always worry the doctor is going to judge me for being a hypochondriac. How long do you wait for something to resolve naturally before making an appointment?

I'm a dude also and generally, my arm would need to be hanging by a thread for me to proactively go to the doctor for something. That being said, dudes are pretty stupid about this. If something feels off for more than a few days, get it checked out. My good advice, but I won't follow it.

Come on dudes! You got to take care of your bodies. Why just focus on working out if internal organs are going to shit. Do yearly check ups. And as D1 said, go see doc if something doesn't feel right.

A week. Bc we travel so much and we're locked in rooms w colleagues and clients, I don't like to mess around.

Annual exam is different than going to the doctor. They make me do that shit. Otherwise the last time I went was when I literally cut my finger tip off with a table saw

Doctors actually like hypochondriacs. They can charge your insurance every time you think something is wrong. I'm sure they love you.

If something doesn't feel right, you go to the doctor. If you know it's something will go away, don't crowd the health care system

Update: went to the doctor (in pain 7 months). They told me I did the right thing but did they say that just to charge me???!?!

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?

I’m scared I’ll end up being alone. I’ve truly enjoyed being single all this time but as time passes by, I keep thinking to myself that something must be wrong with me that I’m not in a relationship.

I’m holding off on dating until I get into better shape but I’ll be 27 by then and I feel like I’ll be too old to put myself out there.
