Hypertension isn’t a fast killer.

So it’s not that people should never go to the doctor, just that going every single year doesn’t have any benefit for young healthy people over going every 3 years.

And again don’t discount the impact of regular visits reducing the odds someone goes to the doctor with new symptoms. This rash is converting but I’ve got a visit scheduled in a few weeks so I might as well wait etc.
