3. I'm in the same place. Haven't seen a doc in years and have stayed
healthy. The one or two times I did have an issue, I picked up the yellow pages and called around. Since I don't have insurance I knew it was a matter of picking someone who was close by, could see me, and who I liked. Found someone very good.

Funny thing is, you know how you get yearly reminder cards for dental and physical exams? I remember getting those, but I guess since I don't have insurance, I never get them. Or maybe doc offices don't do that any more?
