Same! Since and because of COVID and the absolute greed of the medical system, I have stopped going to all doctors, all checkups, other than my dentist. And I'm getting damn close to shutting that down too.
As a woman whose mother died last year with breast cancer, I should be getting yearly mammograms. Nope. Heart disease runs in my family. Nope. Cataracts run in my family. Nope. Lung cancer, colon cancer. Nope. Not having it checked (we all know the cancer cure now, anyway). Yearly paps. Nope. (that one was easy to quit and quite the relief lol). The medical industrial complex has driven away a large number of good people whose eyes are wide open. I watched while they nickel and dimed my mother with constant follow-up appointments that did nothing for her. It's all a money scam. And I noticed my vet seems to have jumped onto that bandwagon as well. It's sad to see. "First do no harm..." yeah, right.

You and I in the same boat. Only dentist and that's every 3 months because of genetic.
Everything else, no. The doctor actually asked me what I take to stay healthy. LOL
