Do real men go to doctors?

[ChrisFloyd]

Just want to know how real men deal with their physical/mental discomfort/illness?

 

[Hmm]

A real man wouldnt ask such a stupid question...

this

i go to doctor regularly. i also have weekly sessions with a psychologist and i go to gym 4 times a week. i like to keep myself in shape mentally and phisically. also i hate the term "real man". any man born with a wiener is a real man.

Hardly ever went to the doctor, hadn't seen one in a decade until I started developing panic and anxiety attacks. Got blood work done, every thing was fine. Try to prescribe me some medications which I never used. I turned to meditation which has cut my anxiety down by half in only 2 1/2 months. I still have bouts here and there, but I am much better. Before I could barely leave the house

What the F?
"Real men" are also people. Denying myself of a normal healthy living just because it means I'm "less of a man" is just beta.

I'm 21, I have a chronic skin condition, a lower disc hernia, testicular varicocele, neurogenic bladder and irritable bowel syndrome (which is suspected to be chron's disease), suspected arthritis, Temporomandibular Joint disorder (my jaw is f**ked up due to crossbite), damaged meniscus articularis and some other things I forgot.

I went through the following:
-X-ray on most major parts of my body
-CT of my lower back and legs
-MRI of my lower back
-Nuclear medicine whole-body bone scan (Bone scintigraphy)
-Sigmoidoscopy
-Colonoscopy
-Uroflowmetry
-Urodynamics
-Ultrasound of many organs
-Every possible blood, urine and stool sample test

Even after this, I don't consider myself as less of a man.
I'm awesome, I'm super manly and even though my ex knew about all these illnesses she didn't care because I never whined except when I was really in pain.

If it's something I don't think my body will heal naturally and perfectly from i'll go see a doctor. In the past maybe 20 years i've seen one once and not to get into any details but there was blood loss lol. I do want to see one now though, at 40 it really does feel like the warranty expired and I want to get checked out and see an allergist and stuff mostly to ask some questions.

Before 40 no doctors necessary...

After 40 i'd say it's time to man up and start getting checked out regularly.

No, real men sit there and bleed out. Anything less is just plain beta behavior and should not be tolerated.

Smart ones do go to doctors. I hate going to doctors, there is absolutely no logical explanation why one would avoid going to doctors, I am retarded health wise :/

I try to avoid it at all costs but sometimes you just have to. Got bit by a cat back in 2009 and my hand swelled up like a balloon. I pondered over going to DR for 3 days, finally did. Dr said it was one of the worst cases of cellulitus he had seen and another day or two it would have been past the point of no return and I would have lost 90% of the movement in my hand for the rest of my life.

Sense then my tune on doctors has been a little more lax.

Screw doctors. I puree lizards and various other reptiles in a Ninja blender every morning at 5:45 am so I can regenerate myself like a green boss in the event of anything.

Yeah of course real men go to doctors. Everybody should go to doctors to make sure everything's good.
