Whether young or old, rich or poor ,white or black the fact is that there is a unifying factor among the men why some cringe at the thought of a "Doctor's visit." Richard Martinez is a retiree, now 63 and lives in Chicago Illinois, when asked the last time he visited the doctor for a medical check up, Martinez placed his hand up to his chin and looked down at the floor and then replied "I really don't remember the last time I went, maybe 30 years ago". He also stated that " Doctor's office always make me feel uncomfortable.My last visit to the hospital was eight years ago when my mother was on admission but she later died.That image of her lying in bed and hooked up to a life support machine still haunts me. I'm just afraid ,that's all ".
For Joseph Nadler from Los Angeles, California who too hasn't been to the Doctor in 20 years because of his bad memory he had. He said " The sight of the white coat , stethoscope and surgical instruments scare me .I had a bad experience from the nurse drawing blood from my veins as a teenager which frightened me.
I was afraid of syringe with needle and seeing blood made me feel like passing out''.He added ''I thought it was because I was nervous but later I realized that after seeing blood from my co-worker being injured at work.I collapsed, I am never the same since."
Robert was interviewed in St.Louis,Missouri.His view on why most men don't like to go is captured in the video. He spoke on why some men are afraid and said they didn't want to find out any negative results that could come forth from any laboratory tests being done on them. He even doubted the genuine intention of some of these medical practitioners and said that ''some doctors possibly want to use patients as guinea pig coupled with the high cost of health insurance these days.''
However, Robert agreed that all men should have a routine check up at least once in a year.
Above is Robert's take on why some men don't like to go the Doctor.
