Going to the doctor is not without risk. Men are better at risk assessment and are less trusting (rightly so) of others. For many of us it's a last resort - time truly is a great healer.

If you feel okay, why bother the Dr with a cold or a sore throat. I haven't seen my Dr for 6 years now - he probably has changed Trusts by now. I don't feel ill, i don't need medication so why bother them if everything is fine!?.
Isn't it counterproductive to use oil in your ear to soften ear wax before removal?
Inwardly, all men are cowards with reference to their health; outwardly, they are macho-men. Rough and tough, physically healthy...do not need doctors...consequently, they fall ill and what was a simple problem has escalated into a major one and a need for hospitalisation. And then the fun begins, because they are in reality wimps, they cannot stand pain, they cannot face injections, they are dying, they want a priest, the undertaker, and sometimes God himself! I agree with you, its maddening, and downright silly too
For me that is because I have so little time. I have a big family to take care of so I wait until I am facing serious pain. Men have many tasks to complete--I always have way more than time--so getting healthcare is low on the list. I take a multi-vitamin and mega doses vitamin C, love jokes, so I can avoid Drs and it works well; never get sick. I started the vitamins and collecting jokes when got hit with Shingles bad due to not seeing a Dr. in time. So this solution seems best. My wife is way worse than me as she has Dr. phobia from bad health probs as a kid. But at least she started vitamins, now if I can only make her a vegetarian like me (another way to avoid Drs (:
Men don't like taking advice from others. In the end I just had to book an appointment for my husband myself.
What is most essential for you to survive ?
All us men like to give the impression we can survive on our own and it is just male/macho pride that stops us seeking advice as this would be admitting defeat.
Pride mostly. Men are invulnerable warrior hunters remember.
