Just to expand on this, Europeans do get doctor's visits every now and then even if there's nothing clearly wrong, as sick leaves extending a couple of days usually requires a medical certificate. This doesn't obviously usually include blood analysis or other such tests though. Disclaimer: I'm extrapolating from personal experience of a handful of countries, this of course doesn't necessarily apply to all of Europe.
