Are you avoiding going to the doctor and dentist because of covid?

When covid first hit the US I was afraid to go to the doctor. I wound up having to go to get an X-ray and check my lungs, because I was having lasting problems after being sick in late January.

I avoided other doctors for a few months.

I’m still nervous about it, but I’ve been going now. I’ve been to the cardiologist, dermatologist, optometrist, and I have a dentist appointment in October.

If you are avoiding the doctor, how long until you finally go for regular check-up type appointments that you usually do?

If you are avoiding, would you even avoiding going to the ER, like if you have an accident or feel pains in your chest?
