How often should i get blood work done? i'm 21 but my doctor is not really big on giving blood work every year if i'm young..

Blood work : If you are in overall good health blood work is not done on a regular basis. A lipid profile every five years, maybe a baseline glucose and thyroid. Definitely not needed yearly. Take care!
