I just know a lot of guys who will not see a doctor unless they get carted off in a ambulance.  Some sort of guy deal.

Kinda like the old guys saying that a friend will visit you in jail, a good friend will bail you out, but your best friend is in the cell with you going "Hey, that was pretty cool, wasn't it?"

Or.... a friend will help you move. A good friend will help you move a body.

That's about my deal, the doc's have gotta send out the wagon and catch me first. Of course a lot of that has to do with being part of that bottom 1/3 in the US with NO health care.

I'd be the same. I'm bad with the dentist cause I have no dental plan. I sure hope this administration helps you guys get some sort of basic coverage and I'm trying to hope it's not all some sort of cynical manouevring. Because it's covered here, I go for checkups (although there are a lot of guys who don't - apparently looking after your health is not quite as manly as taking care of your car's health) and I do what I'm told by my doctor.

I go to the doctor regularly, and after years of trying to take care of my car myself I now take it to its doctor (the mechanic) regularly too.  See?  I knew I wasn't a guy.
