As a man myself it is pretty crazy to me how many men will ignore health problems to avoid going to the doctor. I am in the UK so it doesn't even cost me anything. Yet I have had male colleagues laugh/take the piss out of me for going to the doctor. Yet I think I am the only male in the office who doesn't have some kind of chronic (or close to it) condition at 32. It seems everyone at work has back pain or some other chronic pain because they ignored it when it could have been solved easily. Now some of them need surgery for trapped nerves or slipped discs but don't treat it still! Stupidity IMHO. The worst I know of is a guy I used to work with lost his testicles because he ignored pain and a lump which was cancer! He is lucky to still be alive.
