I heard someone say they'd rather die than undergo the poke test. Kinda ironic.

Yeah, I don't get why so many guys act like adolescent girls about this. Yeah, it's a little uncomfortable and not particularly enjoyable, but so are a few other things a doctor does. big deal, grow up.

I don't go to an AME for health care. I go to an AME for a little piece of paper that says I may continue to make a living.

For health care I see a doctor.

I don't have anything to hide, but there is nothing to be gained from confusing the two, and much to be lost.

ABSO-FLOGGIN-LUTELY!!!!! I see no reason to give the man who holds my career, livelyhood and job in his hands any excuse do any more than what is necessary to give me that piece of paper.

I always thought the finger was the way to check, didn't know you could check without using it. I am 25 and good to go. 1st class med.

I am in your general area I believe, and Van Hicks in Morris is the only guy I have ever been to, and I've never had to bend over and spread em.

Who was your doctor?
