Why do a lot of married men have to bring their wives with them to the doctor's office?

Rant alert.
Come on men, do better. Bring in your wife to the doctor is great if you just want someone to talk to while you wait. However, you should know why you made the appointment and how long you have your symptoms for. Also you should know the names or at least the reasons why you take medication. You wives could be giving you boner killing pills and most baws would not even know.
End rant. I await your criticism and downvotes.
ETA: Here is an example from today.
Me: So what brings you in today?
Patient: I do not know. I think she made the appointment because of my back.
Me: Ok. How long has your back been hurting you?
Patient: I do not know.
Patient to wife: How long has my back been hurting?
Patient's wife: He has been complaining his back about for 6 weeks now.
Me: Ok. Have you taken anything for it?
Patient: Just whatever she gave me for it.

I couldn’t drive home after a procedure that required me to be anesthetized.
That’s the onliest time I’ve brought my wife* with me to a doctors appointment.

It is pretty good to have someone with you that can help ask questions you may forget to ask or remember what the dr says. I don't see the problem here...easier to bring her than have to ask a ton of questions if she doesn't go.

Depends.
Serious issue, absolutely.
Routine stuff, nah.
If you're married and your wife is facing something significant, I hope you've got enough sense to go with her.

To fill out the paperwork.

Some guys actually enjoy their wife's company. Maybe the wife is actually concerned about her husband's health?
Also, men are like "I'll just walk it off".

I think this epidemic is a figment of your imagination. The only times I see what you're describing is with old retired geriatric baws and they're wives don't have shite else to do. Plus they likely have glaucoma and can't drive themselves.

Low T is the only explanation, unless it's an older gentleman who might need assistance.

Think you are misunderstanding. Wives made the appt and are making sure husband shows up. He could care less about being there

Are we talking 35 year old men or 70 year old men?
My mom goes with my Dad because he can’t hear
She also doesn’t go to regular check ups, just specialist visits

I don't have to have my wife go with me, I can fend for myself just fine, she wants to go and spent about 25 years in the medical profession, speaks the lingo, and knows the right questions to ask if I don't ask them, also knows more about the billing and insurance end then any of the current generation of slugs that seem to staff doctors' offices and hospitals these days

Because they know the wife is going to ask a million questions and they don't want to deal with that shite.

This is how my first appointment of the morning went.
Me: So what brings you in today?
Patient: I do not know. I think she made the appointment because of my back.
Me: Ok. How long has your back been hurting you?
Patient: I do not know.
Patient's wife: He has been complaining about for 6 weeks now.
You can imagine how the rest of the appointment went.

This is a thing? I could see it for major sh*t but not my regular checkups or poison ivy visits.
In the 10 years I've been with my wife she's only driven me to the doctor twice. Once for a concussion and once for when I cut the end of my thumb off and had to keep pressure on it to slow the bleeding.

Ok that is a valid answer.
However, a grownass man should know his own SSN and what medicines he takes.

Today will make my going to a doctor's office about the half-dozenth time in the last month and the majority of couples there are elderly. If they are younger, it's likely either the issue is important enough for them both to be there (although they could also just be out running errands together).
