00:00I think men are often slower on visiting the doctor just because they have a little bit of a stigma on vocalising how they're feeling.
00:08Generally, that's gone through time.
00:11Scared. Maybe they're scared. They won't face up to it.
00:16I think it might be just that they think they're in charge and they know their own bodies and they think that if they have got something serious, they probably will go.
00:26Women are very open and vocal about feelings emotionally and that's why they'll talk about it, get an opinion and then they'll kind of follow it through with that.
00:35Whereas guys generally don't really do that. I think partners will often push them into doing that generally because they don't vocalise enough.
00:42They do need to go to the doctor now and again just to make sure you're not.
00:46The problem with today is you never get to see a doctor.
00:48Push the marketer more I suppose and maybe the NHS can be more active in relation to like advertisement and stuff but it's tough isn't it?
00:56Like it's hard. Everything just circles back to money.
