agreed.
90% of NHS funds are spent on Women (not including pregnancy / birth) and the elderly.

The average 16-30 year old woman will visit the Doctors (For non contraceptive / screening reasons) 6-7 times a year.

The average 16-30 year old male, just twice.

Thats probably why men die younger.

twice a year?
I'm still registered with the same doctor my mum registered me with when I was 6. The last time I saw him was when my mum registered me with him. When I was six.

The only medical contact I've had since then has either been trips to a&e (2 in my lifetime) and checkups at the cockrot clinic (3 times total, twice at the end of a long term relationship where she cheated, and once because i'd been single and fucking about a lot for 2 years solid and thought I should probably get checked again)

Ditto
Went to the doctor about a year ago for a pulled muscle I wanted to check wasn't a hernia. They told me I had to change GPs as I'd moved out of their catchment area. I moved 17 years ago.

aye, true enough
But the 'average' also takes into consideration public sector workers or those with 'lower back pain' or some other 'illness' meaning they have to pester the doctor so that they don't have to get out of bed in the morning.

Like many blokes I too only generally go in to get stitches out or casts off.
