The content describes the author's personal experience of finally deciding to get a long-overdue medical checkup after years of avoiding it due to financial constraints and a fear of bad news. The author, a self-employed individual who had not had a wellness check in 10 years, was prompted to make the appointment after his father's prostate cancer diagnosis and his own approaching 50th birthday.
The author expresses a longstanding irrational fear of dying young and how this fear, combined with the lack of affordable health insurance, had kept him from seeking regular medical care. However, the author's spouse encouraged him to make the appointment, and the author eventually overcame his "hermit-like tendencies" to visit the doctor.
The content suggests that the author received "horrible news" at the appointment, though the specific details are not provided. The piece highlights the importance of overcoming one's reluctance to seek medical attention, even in the face of potential bad news, in order to proactively manage one's health.
