truth be told: I once heard a story about a similar thing, although I don’t remember who it was about.
Basically, this Rav never went to doctors. If he got sick, he made a cheshbon hanefesh to figure out why he deserved it. If he had stomach ache, he figured out what he did wrong with his stomach. If his foot hurt, he figured out what he did wrong with his foot. His wife wanted him to see a doctor, but he never did.
One time, he got sick, and told his wife he was going to see a doctor. She was overjoyed, and went with him to see what the doctor had to say. The doctor diagnosed the illness, and prescribed a medication for him to take.
After they left, the Rav took the note from the doctor and ripped it up. His wife was shocked, and asked why he did it. He replied that he wasn’t sure where the illness was coming from this time, so he saw the doctor for a diagnosis. Now that he knew where the illness was, he could properly do his cheshbon hanefesh.
