When Do You Go In To See A Doctor When You Are Sick?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Edmore, MI

This question will result in many answers, depending on insurance to even the country that you live in. When you are sick, how long does it take for you to make that appointment to see a doctor or go to the emergency room? Or do you hope for the best and try to get through the sickness without seeing a doctor?

A myHIVteam Member

If it's something I can take care of myself, I do just that, I hate going to doctor and I won't go too ER unless I'm about half dead.

Social Media platforms have protection from lawsuits because of 47 U.S. Code § 230 but they choose to ignore the damage these conspiracists are inflicting on the HIV population and the… read more
