A member asked:
I'm 24 and i haven't seen a doctor in years, do i need a physical exam at my age?

Physical exam: If its been tears you should have a physical. You will probably need immunization and knowing your lipid profile would also be helpful.

Not really: I wouldn't go unless i did not feel well or had a significant comorbidity like obesity. Just eat right and exercise.
