Again, now with more detail... totally hear you. I myself have many decades experience to look back on and my personal sharp-eyed review of all those experiences has been instructive for me. Conclusion: With the exception of 3 surgeries, and some selected dental work, all the multitudes of tests and prescriptions and various other medical procedures I've had over the years I would have been definitively better off without. Most caused me mainly inconvenience, but some caused me serious harm.

As you say, "Yes, there is a risk to not seeing doctors and getting a symptom checked, and yes you have a point about early diagnosis. You need to balance that against the risk of seeing a doctor."
