Medical TWO.... not so good!

• Excessive or unnecessary screening can lead to a cascade of obligatory follow-up costs down the line, along with potentially invasive treatments you didn’t really need, and the psychological trauma that goes along with it
• Two common screening tests that can potentially do more harm than good are annual mammograms for women, and the annual PSA test for men. Studies have shown that these tests have no impact on mortality rates, and far more people are harmed from unnecessary treatment due to these tests than are saved as a result of early diagnosis
• A recent meta-analysis study found that general health checks did not reduce morbidity or mortality, neither overall nor for cardiovascular or cancer causes, although the number of new diagnoses was increased
• Another study warns against placing too much faith in medical studies showing very large effects of medical treatment (benefits or harms). The massive analysis tracked the fate of thousands of studies, from the effects demonstrated in the initial study, compared to the effects elucidated in subsequent trials. In 90 percent of cases where “very large” effects were initially reported, such effects shrank or vanished altogether as subsequent studies were done to confirm the results.

YES ON CANADIAN TV IN THE LAST YEAR HAVE BEEN SEGMENTS TELLING US THAT THE TWO POPULAR TESTS MENTIONED ABOVE, ARE JUST NOT WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN MADE OUT TO BE. AND A PERCENTAGE ARE DIAGNOSED WRONGLY! YES  I  SAID  ***WRONGLY*** !!

AND A PERSON SHOULD ALWAYS GET A SECOND AND EVEN THIRD OPINION ON ANY MEDICAL ISSUE, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A SERIOUS CONDITION THAT ONE DOCTOR IS SAYING YOU HAVE.

NEVER HAVE "BLIND FAITH" IN THE MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT. THEY CAN DO WONDERFUL THINGS, BUT NEVER HAVE BLIND FAITH IN THEM.
