When you are coughing blood, then you should go. Most ppl run to the doctor when they have a slight fever or stomache ache. Fever higher than 103, profuse sweating combined with paralyzing chills. Severe coughing to the point of where you are throwing up...Or excruciating pain. Also depends if you have a pre-excisting condition though. If you do and know the symptoms and what it signifies...then go.
Other than that, suck it up...you're not gonna die

I had the flu and a cold so severe that I thought I was getting it again. Took some OTC stuff...why go to the doctor when I can diagnose and treat myself. Besides, I was too sick to set foot out my door and by the time I could, I didn't see the point in going.
Too scared of needles to get the flu-shot.

I don't believe the flu shot works, I have never gotten one and knock on wood have never gotten the flu, when many of my friends get them religiously and every year they end of with the flu.
As for doctor visits, I have a doctor at the local VA hospital and a private practice doctor, I see the VA doc every 6 months and the private doc every 6 months, so it works out that I get checked every 3 months. I have a lot of health problems, some from military service and some from unhealthy living, but good news is that I'm getting better. Working out and walking daily, have lost 25 pounds in the last year, only 60 more to go to be in my target zone.
