So, I've been getting an annual checkup every year for the last several. I'm 37 and don't have any physical issues other than occasional insomnia that is nothing new. Every time I've been to the doctor they take my weight and height, order a blood test with the lab, ask me if anything's wrong (to which I say no and they kind of give me a look like "then what are you doing here") and then they order a blood panel and tell me they'll call me if they see anything unusual. I go to the lab, do the blood test, and never hear anything back. No news is good news I guess. Of course as far as I know they never took a glance at my results. I talked to a friend and he said he experienced the same thing, and that I should just go directly to the lab, and look at the results myself, which will display what a normal range is for all the stuff on there. Then my dad said his doctor goes over every single test with him in person and I should look for a doctor that does that. I moved to another city so this came up because I'm looking for a new doctor. What's the best practice here? Do I need a regular doctor? How do I find a good one? All I really want to do stay healthy and if there are any underlying issues, make sure they're not ignored.
