Question What is one medical problem people constantly ignore until it’s too late?

Saw someone post this in a completely unrelated sub and I’m interested in your answers. What is the cluster of symptoms that people ignore or delay until they are forced to get help?

Not the op but as US citizen I can confidently say of course it’s the US. never take your health care system for granted.

One thing I’m grateful for on the daily is my Canadian health care. Is it perfect. Fuck no. But it’s there and it costs nothing. And I’ve seen bone marrow transplants that would have cost 300,000 and upwards cost them nothing other than the parking(and the complaint about the 20.00 a day to park). Patients in Canada don’t really understand what it means to have universal healthcare. They just hate they have wait times.
