It presents an evidence based pros v cons listing on screening and tries to present a informed approach, with less financial bias. The most toxic component of this entire issues also has to do with a form of defensive medicine that physicians engage in. Basically if you don't want problems don't look for them, not to say all physicians engage in this type of behavior. This mentality is very common amongst the older generations of physicians who fear the repercussion associated with minor mistakes.. Ie. doctor sends patient for CT suspicious finding are noted, doctor forgets to order future followup or some other variety of mistake... Patient ends up having cancer and the physician is slapped with a malpractice suit.
