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.

Edit [livejournal.com profile] leahleaf and [livejournal.com profile] 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.

I had a scary bump once too and yes, they're much scarier.

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.
