Check Up Question

How often are you supposed to get a medical check up ?

I’ve gone to the doctor when I’m sick in the past, but I can’t even recall the last time I had a check up. Our medical insurance seems to change almost monthly and now I must actually go to a different state to see a doctor in my network, so getting a check up has not been a priority, but since I just turned 30, I was wondering how often I should get one and at what ages should it be more often.

I have gotten my OB/GYN check ups pretty regularly.

Thanks.

OBGYN: Have you ever had a check up there?

Patient: No, but I’ve had a few Turks & Serbs.

IANAD, but I would recommend that you arrange to get a physical, then ask the doctor when you should get another.
