re: How old were you when you stopped going to a Pediatrician?

I got all of my medical school required immunizations at my pediatrician at 21 years old. I told him "maybe it's time I got a grown up doctor now that I'm going to be training to be one". He agreed

I was 18.

Like 24

Pre-college physical at 17 or 18 years old. After seeing a bunch of geriatric patients, the internal medicine doc was happy to see a healthy person.

I saw Dr Dunlap (who ordered penicillin shots and his nurse gave them in the thigh) off Airline until my parents insurance changed to Oschner and we all went to the same building and got sent to different floors doors etc.

I stopped seeing a pediatrician when I started seeing an orthopedist. Around 14, but yeah I was 6' tall

I caught mono in the Spring of my Freshman year of college. I was sick most of the semester, but thought it was from partying too hard. I was pledging my fraternity at the time and figured I was just feeling so run down because I wasn't getting enough rest. By Easter, which was only 3 or 4 weeks from the end of the semester that year, I hit the fricking wall. I went home and my mother freaked out at my condition. I was down about 25 lbs, from 190ish to ~165. I'm 6'-5", so 165 is pretty skinny for me.

That's the last time I remember going to my pediatrician. I was 18, but I was so sick, I completely did not give a frick about the screaming four year olds. Ended up having to take Incompletes in all my classes. I was messed up for a couple of months.
