Are there any drawbacks (other than cost) to doing population wide screenings for different diseases in order to collect data and address those deseases?
The economic benefit of healthier population might actually outweigh those screening costs and accelerate medicine.
I feel like the way we’re approaching medicine testing and approval is inefficient and too complex. Many patients are resorting to social media to look for diagnosis after going to many doctors and failing to get one.
