I’m genuinely glad to hear that’s the way it went for you. I fully agree that too many people die from preventable ailments because their condition isn’t caught in time, for myriad reasons especially lack of testing. Fully agree with your LPT.
too much whataboutery to your argument
I didn’t mean to make an argument in favour of less testing, although I see how I effectively did. I was only saying that there’s evidence that, at scale, testing people often for everything seems to result in more harmful outcomes than good ones. It was food for abstract thought and an odd (quasi?)fact.
Personally I consider it normal for people to get full blood work done every year, but that’s very much not the done thing here, I realise.

There’s a bit too much whataboutery to your argument. I insisted on a PSA test even though I had no symptoms and it saved my life.
Life pro tip: don’t take no for an answer.
