Unless you have some pre-existing medical condition or are over 45 years old ... I don't see the purpose of annual visits. I'm in my late 30s and haven't gotten a physical in a decade. Why would I? I'm heathy, exercise, sleep enough, have a good diet, etc. All they do is weigh you, make you answer 1000 questions, engage in some impersonal small talk, and push unnecessary inoculations on you (oh, and suggest expensive blood/lab work). I feel fairly attuned with my body so if something is wrong, I can go to a doctor, but "preventive" medicine, just seems like a money making scheme.
