Not sure why people go to the doctor every single time they feel sick.
Unless it's something super serious, drink plenty of fluids, rest and take any non prescription medication that may help.
If you are still violently ill a week later, then go.
No wonder healthcare is so damn expensive.
Because it takes all of an hour or so to drop in the "Doc in a box" as my parents always called it when I was a kid, and get a shot or a prescription for some tamiflu or cough syrup that makes your illness much more tolerable.
Or you could just be a stubborn dumb shite and not go at all until you realize you fricked up and now you have pneumonia because your sinus drainage got in your lungs while you were sleeping and therefore your medical expenses will be quadrupled as they do chest xrays and have to prescribe antibiotics and you have to miss work and possibly be put in the hospital..... All because you were too cool to get a shot in the arse at the "doc in a box" when you first started feeling shitty.
