Her friends are right because a doctor can spot potential issues early.
Preventive care (checkups, screenings, vaccines, blood pressure/cholesterol/diabetes testing, counseling) finds problems that often have no symptoms at first. Detecting and treating them early improves outcomes. The other choices are incorrect: there’s no general legal requirement to see a doctor; it’s false that there’s no value until you’re sick; and while any clinic visit carries a small infection risk, infection-control measures and the benefits of care far outweigh that risk.
