That's pretty much also my parents view toward my brother and myself (both parents are Docs).
The only times i've been to a doctor outside serious injury was for mandated physicals and dental checkups.
Now I work in healthcare as well, and don't feel the need to take meds for minor problems that will clear up on their own.
-played in the mud my entire life
-never understood neosporin and band-aids (although i did need to use duct tape and paper towels to halt profuse bleeding on one occasion)
-never had an infection
-I get a cold/flu maybe once every 3-4 years and i don't take anything for it.
back to the original point
-I am not afraid of death
-I'm not going to need my organs once im dead
-I'm not going to need a $20000 coffin once im dead
When I die, take what you possibly can out of me, toss the rest into a pit in the ground, no need for the box, have a beer. <- that is how I want my funeral to go.
