Primary care seems kind of like a personal trainer or other accountability person. Sure you can take your heart-rate, blood pressure, EKG, etc. and make assessments on your own (I got a pretty thorough setup for ~$150), but most people need the structure or else they won't even check their BPM.

Lab work is the one area that seems worthwhile. Bloodwork can give you early signals for tons of potential problems.
