I haven't been to a doctor in over twenty years now. For most of that time, either I didn't have insurance or my insurance was so laughably bad and my wages so low that I couldn't afford to use it. Now I've got a decent job and decent insurance, but the nearest doctor accepting patients is over 50 miles away.
Guess all I can do is cross my fingers and hope whatever kills me does it quick.
I hear there is a 9mm solution to this problem
