I completely agree with you about this, Ann, and I think it's important to reiterate it on a list which includes many people of a certain age. Both my parents died of cancer and because they smoked neither of them went to the doctor. They knew he'd tell them to give up, and they were also scared that he'd tell them they had cancer (duh!). After I broke my wrist a few years ago I had a middle-aged man check-up and the nurse told me that she only ever saw healthy men, because the unhealthy ones were too scared to come and talk to her.
