Can confirm. European health care systems may be flawed in many ways, but I have personally known people who avoided getting their treatable illnesses treated.
Though if you have the kind of issue where you’d consider taking the risk of a Dr House-intervention, you’re fucked in Europe, too - IME, at least here in Germany doctors absolutely hate investigating the more complicated cases.
Women as well, I had a relative die of (maybe curable) breast cancer, who had avoided screenings because she was scared they’d turn out positive. Yeah. To be honest, I am not much better, I should get some check-ups done.
