OK, can I ask what might be a silly question for an adult?
I had someone mock me a few days ago for "always going to the doctor", except (other than transition-related stuff) I only go to the GP when it's required for work. I don't go by choice (since they don't bulk bill!)
How do I know when I should go to the doctor?
I went to the doctor on the 18th. She said sinusitis. My non-stop cough cycled through hacking and productive, to hacking and dry, back to hacking and productive, and now I've had laryngitis for almost a week, with my ADHD psychiatrist telling me "Stop talking, don't talk for a week."
My head and lower abdomen are aching from coughing every 5 to 15 minutes. The cough becomes non-stop if I move around.
But that snarky little quip about me going to the doctor has now made me feel like I should just wait it out.
(Person in question complained that they woke up being unable to feel one side of their body, and blurry vision on that side. I suggested they call Nurse-on-Call. Nurse-on-Call said "go to the hospital". After six hours in the waiting room, the ER doc said "Pinched nerve, see a physio", and they blamed me for telling them to call Nurse-on-Call)
