It just doesn’t appeal to me. The thought of it just doesn’t make my day. I’m too busy. I have no symptoms. They just want to pad their corporate income. I just don’t want to. I don’t need to.
So you put it off. You delay as long as you can, perhaps for years, not months, maybe even decades. What in the world is so sacred about a spot on the calendar when a specific exam needs to be done? Are we humans really all that predictable? Not likely.

Rest, never mind relaxation, just plain old rest.
The medical profession/industry has come full circle when it comes to assessing the value of rest, and I suspect the change has been spurred by the insurance industry, though I have not heard anyone in the medical profession admit it may be so.
I am old enough to actually remember when doctors made house calls.

I suppose I have enough experience with the world of medicine to have a credible opinion on the general subject, having had four surgeries and several “procedures” in two different hospitals in the last two years.
At the outset I should say that I am very fortunate in that I hold the doctors who have treated me in high regard. When we moved here we chose a doctor pretty much based on geography (Read: “How far from the house is it?”) and that was a stroke of pure luck.
