Better living through hypochondria

OK, I accidentally read some Wikipedia articles and now I'm terrified. They had pictures and everything it was horrible. I really want to set up an appointment ASAP with someone for a checkup. I've got credit.
Any local recommendations? I literally have no doctor or plan or nuthin. I'm a free agent.
Hmm, a nice little project I can do today is look into buying health insurance for myself, too. I quite honestly have no idea about any of this stuff.

leahleaf and
jadelennox slid some URLs at me, and I contacted these folks. I hope to get myself nice n set up by Jan 1. I feel better already.

Date: 2006-12-07 07:11 pm (UTC)found a Bump on scalp
its slowly getting bigger
just sebacious cyst
Wasn't planning for a haiku when I started, but what the hell...
Found the lump and got nervous. Doctor's confirmed it's nothing to worry about. Outpatient treatment in the office will take care of it when I want to.
So, it was not, in fact, a too-muh.
Hope you feel better.

Date: 2006-12-07 07:15 pm (UTC)My current situation is really more laughable. "This article says that an early sign of stomach cancer is loss of appetite. OH NO I HAVE THAT! SORT OF! AAAGH! (And it couldn't possibly have anything to do with recovering from my super-violent one-off illness from last week.)"
But it is whipping me into setting up some health care for myself, so hey.

Date: 2006-12-07 07:18 pm (UTC)I phoned em, and they just collected some contact info and said they'd email me. I don't know how much anything costs yet. I can almost guarantee you it won't be more than my rent, though, ha ha barf.
