> The trouble with preventative medicine is that it is creating artificial anxiety on the basis of the possibility of illness. I don't see it this way. Regardless of the existence of preventative care, what brings anxiety is the knowledge of the existence of the illness and the possibility of being sick. The preventative care (assuming we mean test/monitoring and not constant medication) is what shows me that the anxiety is unfounded.
