I am the first to admit it. I don’t like going to either the doctor or the dentist. It makes me uncomfortable when someone stares into my ears, up my nose, or into my mouth. I don’t like being poked, prodded, and told to “turn your head and cough.”
However, I do recognize the value of catching problems early in their lifecycle. I know far too many people who waited to see a healthcare professional only to find out that their nagging pain in the stomach was a very serious matter. So, despite my discomfort with blood pressure cuffs and tongue depressors, I understand and appreciate preventive medicine. It’s much better to suffer minor discomfort now than deal with a life altering issue after it’s too late.
