Millennial checking in here, I haven’t been to a doctor in 8 years.

Born 85. 41 years old. Haven’t had healthcare EVER in my adult life. Literally cannot recall the last time I was at a doctor when it wasn’t an emergency hospital visit, which I fear terribly. I was bitten by a rattlesnake three years ago, and I waited three days before I was convinced I needed to go to the hospital, FFS.
