Prof. J. Wydmański:
“Women are certainly more sensitive and take better care of themselves, but they also look after their husbands or other men close to them. That said, we do need to encourage men to have regular check-ups. Notice the paradox: once a year we have to go to a testing station – not with ourselves, but with our car. And we pay for it. There is the car’s inspection, and it is absolutely obvious to us that we have to do it. But when it comes to our health, our life – no. Half a million people in Poland do not know that they have high blood pressure or diabetes. These are frightening figures.”
