Sewing a doctor for multiple unrelated symptoms

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hello,

I've had a few different health concerns come up lately and think it's time to get everything checked out. I'd like to get it all checked at once if possible, but am wondering if it's practical to visit one general physician for multiple concerns that aren't necessarily related. To be more specific, I am interested in a general checkup, blood work, occasional chest pain, and a skin irritation in the groin area that could potentially be a fungal infection (does not itch, is not an STD). I'm unsure if I should be seeing a dermatologist or urologist for the last issue, but if I can do it all with a general practitioner I would prefer it. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Can't see why your normal GP can't do the initial tests etc and then refer you to a specialist if it's necessary which it possibly want as it sounds like all your symptoms will be fine treated by GP

    Your best bet would be to go to a hospital emergency room where they have all the equipment and expertise for all tests and treatment in one visit. They will take all insurance.
