I figure it’s probably ridiculous to go be seen for one thing at a time but also probably ridiculous to come to a doctor with a huge list of shit you think is wrong with you (while also potentially framing the doctor’s view of you as prone to hypochondriasis), so like, i guess the thing to do is make a list and like, see how many of the more urgent things you can discuss in a reasonable time frame? Or is this what “a physical” is for, you get that instead of or prior to mentioning specific concerns?

I haven’t seen a doctor in like 10 years so idk how to be a normal person about it

      I’m sure they’d to deal with worse.

      Oh definitely, like, I’m still in reasonable health and i’m sure there’s GPs who have people stumble in with active medical emergencies

      I should do that too sometimes

      dude definitely, if you’re in a position to and have stuff you’re worried about, take advantage while you can! I’ve just been really broke/no insurance for a long time… now im just kinda broke and full of anxiety
