When Last Did You Go For A Comprehensive Medical Check-up? by greatgod2012(f): 1:08pm On Mar 18, 2013
Some Nigerians!!!
We like work, we like to struggle, we know how to look for money, but never have time for periodic comprehensive medical check-up.
To some, they will say, they dont have time, some, claims no money, some will say they are not sickly, as if its only the sickly that hospital are made for, some will say, its better for them not to know that a particular illness is in their body, to such, its a preventive measure for them, as what one does not know anything about cant make you worry.
However, we should all know these things, its better for us, some ailment are better dealt with if they are diagonised earlier, even, when you are checked-up and the doctors affirm that you are perfectly alright, they wont just leave you to go like that, they will definately supply you with tips that will make you to maintain your good health.
Some usually complain of "no money, but sincerely, its not really expensive, one can just decide to reduce the junks one takes daily and save the money that is supposed to be used on them for six months, and before one knows what is happening, you have even more than what you need for the medical check-up.
Let us all stop the habit of going to hospitals only when we are suffering from one ailment or the other........a stitch in time, save nine, sometimes, even more than nine......
May God help us all.
As for me, i did my own comprehensive medical check-up about two weeks ago, and i was told that im alright, except that ihere is a hole in one of my teeth, of which i was given an appointment of when to come and fill it, which i have done.
So, lets share ours, when last did you go for comprehensive medical check up.
Thanks for sharing.

For some, its fear of the unknown!
You can simply imagine what happens to one when doctor starts calling some medical jargon living in one's body!

Mine is fear though, just wanna believe that I'm alright and always good to go, plus the fact that I'm always careful of my hygiene (especially from food to sport)

Its good one "MUST" do it to be "SURE".

I remember years back when my Dad went for OVER-ALL check up. NOTHING was found....I congratulated him....the man is also very conscious of his hygiene.....it makes me feel PERFECTLY alright too!

thank God you know its bad grin
but, sincerely, there is nothing or little to be scared of about a hospital or a doctor, you can even go along with your hubby, if need be, if that will help ammeliorate the fears.
You just book an appointment, and face where you are going, without looking at those ugly things in the hospital, get your medical check-up done and be rest assured that you know what is happening in your body system.
May God help us all.

good one, pls can you provide the name of the hospitals you used and potential costs


biolabee:

Please do

Under 40 Two or three yearly checkups are recommended
Over 40: Annually

NOT EXHAUSTIVE but i feel these are the key tests

Women: b.reast, BMI, ECG, blood test, blood sugar and cholesterol type (Low/High density), x-ray, eye, ENT, urine and stool analysis
Men: BMI, ECG, blood test, blood sugar and cholesterol type (Low/High density), x-ray, eye, ENT, urine and stool analysis

prostate checks can be done for men above 40
Also Dental checks can be done for holes and build up of bacteria which can damage gums and lead to tooth loss

This way you can manage yourself till you go yonder

Redington used to do this for about 150k about 4 years back
I dont know how much it is now but i am sure there are moderate hospitals that can do this

House, please any ideas of any good place and possible costs

we have not received the spirit of fear, but of sound mind............says the word of God.
yes! Thats the spirit, it make one to know what and what is exactly going on in one's body, and of course, how one can deal with it, if any.
You know one thing, its God that bless us with these people, the same way we are a blessing to others in our different profession, and of course, it will be synonymous to suicide attempt, if we just take our heath for granted, which God will not be happy with, i guess.

It's been too long. I usually only go to the emergency room once every couple years too.

Maybe it's time I make an appointment, but I'm relatively young (early 20's) and don't worry about health problems. In fact neither of my parents have any problems either. And they get annual checkups.

does heredity affect your decision to have checkups? undecided

In 2011 when I noticed some scary stuffs on my body I was forced to go for series of comprehensive medical checkups till I found a solution; and that experience really taught me something about my health.

Which is

prayer doesn't stop you from having medical check ups. God's wish is that you be in health, and check ups help you to be in health.
