Everybody always says go see a doctor.
"I've experienced discomfort in my ankle recently"
ANS: "Go see a doctor immediately"
"I feel tired."
"You may have a serious disease, see a doctor now!"
"I yawned, is that normal?"
"If it was over or under 6 seconds in duration then it could mean you have jaw cancer. Check with your doctor now!"
I mean, come on. If I am in serious pain, I'll see a doctor. But otherwise, I'll save my money. Doctor's are just people with a higher knowledge of various health conditions. They make recommendations like "oh just wait a few days and see what happens..." and in a few days, you're fine! Now did I need to visit a doctor for that?
And don't tell me that you should always check just in case. It's not worth the money. Yeah, maybe I'll die soon because I refuse to see a doctor over a minor issue, but the chances of that aren't very big. I'll take my chances.
