I went for the first time in 20 years recently. I'm apparently in excellent condition. So, I pretty much just wasted my time. I'm assuming my 60 year checkup will be similar.

That's not a waste of time. Do you have good genetics, do you eat and sleep healthy? That's good for you. But they doesn't mean you shouldn't stop going. Cause anything can turn up at any time. If you don't know what to look for, doctors can't help you with that. Especially things you don't report.

The worst thing you can do is never go to the doctors again just because you are in excellent health now, or perceive yourself to be. Shit changes all the time. Our bodies won't be nearly as efficient as they were decades before. So you can't expect you can do the same things and get away with eating the same for years. Especially if you don't work out.
