I go out of my way not to take pills. Always have. Of course it is pretty damn rare I will go to a doctor because I am sick as well.

Just never understood the desire to get a prescription.

In my experience doctors usually can't do jack for the little stuff and in many cases they can't do anything for the big things either.
