That is actually very bad advice to those pilots who value their medical
certificate. A real pilot knows not to place the responsibilities of
normal healthcare in the hands of the same doctor who signs one's medical
certificate.

My philosophy is to not go to doctors unless something is obviously broken
(i.e. bone sticking through the skin, etc)... The problem with going to the
doctor is that you find out things that you really don't want to know...

At one time that was the "manly Marine" thing to do, but do you have
grandchildren? If so, you are doing them a great disservice by not going
routinely and at least getting your PSA tested regularly for prostate
cancer, which has no outward symptoms until it's too late.

Famous people who died of prostate cancer that may possibly have been
treated had the cancer been caught early enough:
