I get ill pretty rarely. In most cases it`s a light form of common cold without high temperature. It can be treated with medicine, which you can get without a recipe, so you don't need to go to the doctor. Last time I`ve visited dentist more than five years ago, but, I think, less than 10. So maybe I should visit him this year.

Sorry about yout sickness cittautopica. I frequently go to the dentist because I haven't care my teeth when I was young. Thanks god in my contry (Bolivia) dentists aren't too expensive.

I think none is keen on going to the doctor or dentist, but sometimes it's necessary. It could be better if we curated the prevention, however it's always no possible. With regard to me, I have to use a tablet every day due to a chronic sickness.

Yes, I have used all the list! ;)

When I am unwell I like going to see the doctor. He gives me medicine which makes me feel better, most of the time he gives me tablets.

I am generally a healthy person, but when I do have to attend the hospital, I am not afraid, just a little nervous.

When I go to see the doctor and the dentist, I'm usually not afraid of them but I hate having a tooth impression taken. I never want to do it.

How do you feel about getting vaccinated for Covid-19? I'm scared... ;)

Hi Rafaela, where are you from? You don't need to be afraid of the vaccines, they are a fantanstic tool made with advanced science, I recommend that you read some material about the scientific method, so you will learn how science works, and you will be confident about science. You can also watch a TV show called "COSMOS" it was presented by Carl Sagan, it's very cool and you will learn lots of things about science. If you understand portuguese you can read the book "Ciência no Cotidiano" by the microbiologist Natalia Pasternak. I am a student of STEM and I can garantee to you, vaccines are our only chance to win this war against Covid-19. Good learning for you.
