Medical Q&A #1 - You And Your Doctor

When to choose ....

I am in good health and never get sick. Should I look for a doctor now, or wait until I need one?


Finding a doctor when you are actually sick - or worse, in an emergency - is never a good idea. Time is likely to be short, and your judgement may be affected. 

The best time to find a doctor is when you least need one. This is the time when you will have the luxury of making a careful, informed choice; you will also have the opportunity of establishing a comfortable working relationship with the doctor before a medical problem develops. Perhaps even more significantly, your doctor will have the opportunity to assess your general health, the standard against which future changes and difficulties can be measured.
