I moved to a new state a year ago, and I'm looking for a family doctor. I'm middle-aged and in decent health, but I just want a checkup and bloodwork at some point soon because of issues I've had in the past. And I've been avoiding the doctor since the coof began and the vaxxines started getting pushed. The problem is that every single family clinic in my area, and I mean all of them, are run by the university systems of my state. This tells me that they will definitely be pushing the vaccine at every office. I have no idea where to go. It's extremely frustrating that I can't find just a private family doctor who isn't attached to the big medical system.
And I don't need twenty people telling me to go carnivore or keto or take a hundred supplements every day to avoid the doctor. Sometimes you do need to get yourself a checkup, especially as you get older, and if you are a woman, then there is a whole other set of issues you have to consider. Thank you for any advice or if you just want to commiserate. And, yes, I posted about this same problem last year when I broke a bone and went without treatment. We've entered a time when neglecting your health is the norm because doctors can no longer be trusted, all according to plan.
Mexico. Cheaper, simpler. My spouse and I skip the annuals because we can control our own type 1 diabetes and cancer screenings. Labs are cheap and if we want to see an endocrinologist, ophthalmologist or nephrologist it's just $35.
