Isn't there a saying that the benefits of regular checkup are a myth? Since they lead to over intervention or something? I know some places encourage regular health checkups whilst other places actually actively say it's a bad idea. Any doctor can chime in on this?
- q1w2 3y agoIt's too broad of a statement. Take a look at individual tests to see if they make sense. A PSA urine test, for example, is insanely cheap and catches many expensive prostate cancers in early stages. Mammograms are the similar (less cheap, but still life saving). For those specific tests, the evidence is clear.
