3 Good Reasons To Stop Avoiding Your Physician

By  | 

When was the last time you went to see your doctor? Did you go for the nagging pain in your back? Did you go when you were down with what felt like the flu? Likely not. It’s more likely that you went to urgent care for stitches after that one sports accident than you heading to your local physician’s office for a check-up. There is not one person out there who gets happy with the idea of seeing the doctor. When there is pain or illness going on in your life, you – like many others – probably ignore it.

The reason for this is time. We just don’t have the time for going to the doctor to sit and wait for an appointment only to feel stupid for going. That’s the other thing; we are conditioned to believe that we are wasting the doctor’s time if we go with an issue. The thing is, part of being adult is regular health checks, to catch issues before they become issues in the first place. People are driven by the cost of the appointment, the cost of treatment and the cost of the medication and follow up afterwards, which is one of the biggest reasons that adults everywhere avoid going at all. There are some people who don’t feel comfortable in their current physician’s office but can’t find the time to go out of their way for a personalized patient experience from Vomela in another office. Time is a big problem and life gets in the way. The thing is, you could be costing yourself more money by avoiding those essential appointments. If you need any more convincing, check out the three good reasons below that you should be heading to your next appointment.

Prevention Is Better Than Cure. There’s no question that preventing a major issue is far better than treating one. If you are headed to the emergency room more frequently, it’s because you’re allowing yourself to get sicker than you need to. Preventative care stops a minor issue from developing into a major one, and you can ensure that you are caring better for yourself by going to a regular health check-up.

Proactivity Is Easier! There is nothing worse than feeling too sick to get out of bed in the morning. It doesn’t help to sit in a doctor’s office for an hour waiting for an appointment, especially when you can be seen quicker at urgent care. The thing is, not everything in life is designed for this ‘now, now, now’ culture that we have developed for ourselves. Making the time to sit, wait and get a check-up is better than waiting until you’re dragging yourself around.

It’s Easy To Do. Picking up the phone and booking an appointment is so easy, there shouldn’t be any reason to wait around to do it. There are most services out there that allow for online booking, too, so there’s no real excuse to wait!

Get seen, get healthy and live life happy.
