I go once/year for a check up, all is well, I go again the following year. However, I have certainly heard horror stories from friends and family about health care professionals not taking the time to find out what is really going on. It is very true that we have to manage our own care even when we are too sick to do so. On a completely different note ... I LOVE WiiFit. It gets the entire family engaged and active, and I use my faithfully. I hate to miss a single day. @Patricia – fortunately I have not had much personal experience with our health care system.

I have genetic, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which in the USA they seem to have never heard of....I have found one little post on the Mayo Clinic site now. The Dr's all treat me like a liar " you could not be eating and exercising properly and have these test results." or a mental case. I fall into so many of the categories when I go through the analogue Doctor's office....the Naturopath says they are not treating your torn muscle they just want it easy they want the pain to be diabetes. With diabetes the drug companies make so much money - they want it to be diabetes. I just gave in last spring and took the medicine....I am .4 of a pound from having all the weight gain off...as of today. I eat raw fruit and vegetables and nuts ....I walk 5.5 miles around the Lake 5 mornings a week or on truly bad weather days I do Wii Fit inside and dance. Last October on Fit to Blog I began the process of losing 100 pounds...I am right back to needing to lose 100 pounds... I am doing my very best....I have no options for Long Term Care ...and soon my Blue Shield insurance that costs me $1400.00 a month with a $5,000 deductible will be dropped. I have to be totally responsible for myself and my health care now.....if I get cancer for the 7th time...my choice will be death.
