So I am curious, have any of you been avoiding health care because of Covid? Are you up to date with your preventative screenings?

Women:
  • Colorectal cancer screening
  • Mammogram
  • Pap smear
  • Cholesterol screening
  • Blood pressure
  • Bone density scan

Men
  • Colorectal cancer screening
  • Prostate cancer screening
  • Cholesterol screening
  • Blood pressure
  • Bone density scan
I don't do any of that anyway so no here.
I do think many have put off necessary medical attention because of covid.
I don't remember when it was last fall winter first time taking our kids to the dentist first time we could after the shutdown, they mentioned first kids they had seen....
 
It's the shrinking that's so 'unfair'!
And it's a real thing. (As several of us have discovered.)
I worked in a pain clinic a few years ago and one of the questions was "How tall are you?" The answer almost always began "Well, I used to be...."

Oh, you had to go and say it. Mammo. It's time again. I forgot I got a notice. I e been seeing so many other specialists lately for something going on. I won't have a problem getting in for screening. I'm in Utah. I just got back from a neurologist today. Didn't see patients waiting wearing a mask, I including my son. I did anyway until I got into the office. Asked the Dr if he cared I'd I took my mask off.. told him I was vaccinated. Oh no he says, I am too, I'm just used to wearing one anyway. Then he proceeds to take his mask off to blow his nose! lol... I almost laughed. At least he put his mask back on after blowing. 😄 Anyway, Utah is getting a lot of cases per day. Just in our county alone, the numbers were...22 dead, then down to 11 dead, now down to 8 dead..report is for every three days. Yes, I'll keep wearing my mask. Waiting for that booster from Moderna!
 
Or perhaps just tired of the continual beating of a dead horse? This is not the 'anti vax' thread. It was started for folks to recount how Covid has changed their lives. For me at the present time - not significantly; although, I do presently have two friends in ICU.
Oh man, hope they come out ok. Sorry.

I don't go dr or dentist but still have a few , well four kids home still so do take them. Thinking back to that first dentist visit when they first were allowed by our government to see people and they said first kids they've seen... they charged me out of my pocket a xtra $6 said for PPE. Paid it a few times mentioned it to someone I work with they said for what? Don't they wear masks and wash sanitize/wear gloves anyway?
Yeah they already did!!
They don't charge it anymore.

Was just at dentist Mon, boy #5 kid, 8yrs old , ended up having a tooth pulled. About on the way out didn't look like they were caring about/giving us the tooth, so I said 'hey I bet he wants that tooth' assistant woman says no he doesn't want that tooth, so I think she's talking about the dentist, I say I mean him and point at the boy, assistant says I think the tooth fairy will understand, dentist says not happening covid...
Wow! Kid can't have his tooth you ripped from his mouth because of covid....
Boy put a kernel of Indian corn under his pillow must have fooled the tooth fairy cause still visited lol.
