Is going to the doctor fun for anyone?

Going to the doctor when I was a young man: Easy to fill out paperwork on medical history, doctor says "don't worry about it, it's no big deal" to any new health concern I raise. Going to the doctor as an older man: Takes 20 minutes to list my medical history, doctor says "Uh-oh, you better see a specialist, it could be ..[insert life-threatening disease here]" to any new health concern I raise. And despite this potential life-threatening disease, a specialist can only see me 3 months from now--if I am lucky. Apparently, age is not just a number.

I couldn't afford to go to a doctor even if I was dying.
