Fiddleback, I wish it were, but it is not as simple as "go get your check-up and you're a responsible person who's doing the right thing". According to what I could easily find, going to the doctor is the second leading cause of preventable death in the U.S.

Deaths from avoidable medical error.

That's certainly good advice, and the importance of it is made very clear with those links above.

A little closer to on topic, I don't recall hearing of anyone dying from eating trail food at home, so I figure that must be pretty far down on the list of avoidable deaths laugh
