Men's Reticence to go to the Doctor | David Mitchell's SoapBox

David Mitchell's Soapbox and more @ ‪http://www.channelflip.com/

For this weeks SoapBox rant, David is contemplating why exactly it is that men are so reticent about going to the doctors surgery.

Why suffer the achey elbow, the fatally bowing knee, or the headache from hell? Why not just get it sorted? And why is it that women are so much better at sorting themselves out than chaps are?

David has his own theories, but do check out the video to see if you agree.

Wait...does this mean David Mitchell was never a baby, he was born a 35-year-old man, already fully aducated and wearing clothes?

That answers everything.

@Selinor578 'false praise of women induces them to go on believing it' ... you got that from David saying that a woman's body is generally more complicated? Sorry, but that's not false praise. The whole 'letting a small human grow inside you for 9 months' is actually pretty complicated. Also it's not something women generally boast about. It's not the kind of thing we put on a job application. Also it's not 'pro-women'; it's just a fact. Good luck with the whole sexist pig angle though.

There is absolutely no question of whether this is true or not. It's true, and we have the data to prove it. Women utilize medical services more often, and men are usually much further along in their diseases when they do seek medical treatment or screening.

Oh God now I'm really confused!! Not only am I female with a male approach to seeing a doctor, I also tend to fall asleep straight after sex.

You have nailed it, Mr. Mitchell. Any of my husband's late-night panicking over this pain or that rash will be hereafter directed to this video.
