3. Carrying a disease and not wanting to see a doctor
Elderly people may have more or less certain physical symptoms, but they are very strong inside. If you suffer from some minor illness and your body can endure it, you will not go to the hospital.
Because they think that seeing a doctor may cost more money and is very troublesome to hospitalize, they are not willing to burden their children, so they will not go to the doctor once their body can bear it.
