I am fortunate to be in good health, so maybe he's just not concerned. But I have never had a doctor ever pass up the chance to take a listen.

I think you've answered your own question...
At the initial visit a "History and Physical" is usually performed (and billed to your ins). The "heart and lungs" are a standard part of the exam.
