It's the lovely pelvic exam and so on. It's also to check my general health, etc... Since I am sick, should I reschedule so that they get a more accurate idea of my general health. In truth, I want to climb under my blankets with a cup of hot tea and vegetate - not get poked and prodded. This is just a nasty cold - not something I'd normally see a doctor about.

NO......wait till you're well. Your Dr. or Nurse Practitioner will appreciate your consideration. Why expose a waiting room full of women (some that may be pregnant) to a cold virus???

my first reaction is to say reschedule, because the focus won't be on your general health, and if you are normally a healthy person, then the doctor won't be seeing your normal physical state.....however, if you have concerns about having more than a normal cold, see your doctor, but I would personally reschedule

The doctor and staff would rather you reschedule, dear one. None of them wants to be exposed to what you have. Your physical can wait a week or so.
Feel better soon and God bless!

Your doctor can look past things like a cold, so it shouldn't get in the way of that.
But if you feel like you need to reschedule, do so.

If you don't feel well enough to go, cancel and reschedule the appointment.
The same thing happened to me about 1 1/2 months ago.
Feel better.

You should go anyway. They don't really look for simple things like if you have a stuffy nose, more like things that are serious, and are always there. Being sick won't change if they'll know if you're healthy or not....just make sure you tell them that you're actually sick.

Yes you should go. It will make you feel better because the doctor could see if there is any thing wrong with you and get check up.

Sounds like a good time to see the doctor!

reschedule the appointment; do the rest of the patients a favor - don't spread germs, get well and then get a truly accurate assessment of your health!!
