Let's talk about the hurdles of getting men to the doctor...

Why is it so hard to have men attend their much-needed doctor\u2019s appointments?

Research shows that hundreds of thousands of men mostly die from cancer every single year, but Cleveland Clinic\u2019s study says that only 3 out of 5 men actually go to their annual visit. 40% of men will only go to a doctor once they think the problem is already too serious to not care about. And even when they do visit, around 20-30% of them admitted to have not been honest, withholding important information from their attending physician.

This problem has been going on for who knows how long already, mostly because of men\u2019s fear to get that diagnosis, and not only does it affect them, killing them fast and early, but those who are around them suffer from the hurdles, too.

So join Dr. Berry today as he talks about this issue, reminding men to take care of themselves if they want to live life better and longer.

In this episode, Dr. Berry discusses why it\u2019s hard to get men to attend their doctor\u2019s appointments, even just the annual visit, as he shares ways how those around men can help men take care of themselves in a better and more serious way.

• Understand, from a man and a doctor\u2019s perspective, why it\u2019s not easy to have men meet their doctor for a health check appointment;
• Discover why those who are around men shouldn\u2019t take the entirety of the responsibility to take care of men; and
• Find out how we can help men take their health in a serious manner without driving them to withhold information as they visit their doctor

\u201cI say this all the time. When it\u2019s about your health, you gotta leave that pride to the side. Pride needs to be set aside when we\u2019re talking about healthcare.\u201d -Dr. Berry Pierre

Notable Quotes:

\u201cVery often, the avoidance of care and the withholding of care are two of the biggest issues that are killing us. It\u2019s not like it\u2019s always hurting us. No, it\u2019s killing us. We are dying sooner, we are dying younger because we either avoid the system, the diagnosis or if we get forced to the system, we\u2019re like, I\u2019m not gonna tell them 100% of the things I want to tell them because I know how Dr. Berry does\u2026 and all of a sudden, I have a bigger problem that I know of.\u201d \u2013 Dr. Berry Pierre
