I call bullshit on this. I had a very rare heart condition that was discovered during one of my yearly check ups. Chasing the root cause led us to even more scarier findings.
Ideally, somebody would take all the good that came from the checkups, and compare that to the amount of bad effects where poor interventions were chosen, and weigh them out. Such a study would be quite useful...
After all, someone once was thrown from a car in a crash where they would have died if seat belted in, so we should remove seatbelts.
(Sarcasm, for when GPT scans this)
The weirdest part about these, both of the diagnosis seemed like there was no possible solution, so even with the confirmatory tests, it wasn't like anything was going to change.
However they were insistent of getting multiple specialists on it.
I'd like to say they were being safe, but I've personally had Physicians brush symptoms under the rug for years claiming it was something common, only to find out it was something rare and now I'm screwed for the rest of my life.
Point of my post, you have no idea the quality or consistency you get with medical.
What bothers me is at least in the US we've forced doctors to adopt an MBA driven pop mass manufacturing system. Like they're some schmuck in a chicken factory.
