I have heard of pilots NOT going to their doctors because if they
did go to a doctor, it would need to be reported, and explained, on the
flight physical.

I've done that in a way. I postponed seeing my regular physician about a complaint
until after my flight physical (which had to be taken within a month, as it turned
out). I knew that I basically was self-certifying for two years after I took that
physical and suspected that I might be grounded for at least a year if I saw my
doctor before taking it. So it only made sense to get the physical first.

The eventual diagnosis was benign positional vertigo, and I didn't fly much for a
while.
