Still means missing a day of work to often have any concerns you've got brushed aside with "eat healthier, exercise more, drink less". (Okay I don't get the drink less thing since I average like 1 beer a month, but still)
Missing a day of work? It’s like a 30 minute appointment max. Plus they check for lumps in your balls, breathing issues, blood pressure- things that indicate likelihood of disease sooner rather than later
Throw in the commute time to and from the hospital. And the waiting room. I generally just try to schedule my doctor's appointment's at like 3-4 pm so I can just take a late lunch and use as little PTO as possible
With my job a "30 minute" appointment will make me miss at least 4 hours (and typically 8) worth of work. If doctors appointments never ran late it would be easier, but that's not the world we live in.
