Do you go in physicals on a regular basis?

Why not?

As dullard mentioned above, yearly physicals rarely catch anything that a patient wouldn't notice on their own, such as a missing testicle (two as of this morning, so I'm all set).

If I've got insurance, I might as well take advantage of it. Some stuff ... by the time you notice it yourself (like the prostate issues), its to late.

I'll take my chances

Colon cancer is nasty. Trust me when I tell you that you'll wish you had let the Dr. stick his finger in your butt once a year to catch it early.

EDIT: Then again, I think the average age of people on this board is 22 y.o., so most of you don't think this will happen to you, you're still immortal in your eyes.
