I think maybe they see it as a weakness to see a Dr. Also I think sometimes they feel like it's a violation of their privacy - at least if it's anything below the waist that's malfunctioning.
I think hubby is slowly learning that an once of prevention is worth a pound of cure and is more willing to go when something ISN'T too bad off. Like when we let an ingrown toenail go too long and they had to stick a huge needle all the way down his toe from tip to nuckle in order to numb it. Ouch. I think my Dad is that way too - while my brother, who is much younger, is still very against seeing the Dr for complaints that aren't actually killing him YET.
