This is basically standard practice now for some time in medicine, at least in the United States. Every time I or my partner have ever been to the doctor for any kind of concern, they always focus exclusively on life threatening conditions. The moment that cancer or such is ruled out (even when I've insisted I didn't think that was a likely possibility), care basically stops, any further inquiry is like pulling teeth. We joke that this is like the "Not Hotdog" app from the Silicon Valley series, "Not Cancer".
My cynical view is that it's more profitable to treat life threatening issues than trying to keep you healthy which would only result in less profits for hospitals. The whole incentive structure of health care leads to very bad outcomes.
