Going to the doctors is really up to the individual
I went, ihad too.
Years later I applied for a job with a council.They researched my back ground .
Some person rang me up and needed to know what had happened and how I was feeling at that moment in time.
Igave my explaination of events and low and behold I got the job a week or two later.
Must admit thought I had blown it when I realised they check your medical history
