“I wasn’t addressing medical science, nor giving my personal/medical opinion
I was presenting a different way of looking at things from the perspective of hashkafah/nigleh”
So what are you saying? I’m trying to understand
According to this “perspective of hashkafah/nigleh” Should a presumably healthy person with no symptoms get medically recomended screening tests?
does it matter how dangerous/treatable the disease in question is eg screening for high blood pressure vs various cancers
does it matter how invasive the test is ? Eg blood test vs imaging vs procedure (like colonoscopy).
If you are suggesting not seeing doctors due to bitachon . I understand. But not ot do screening tests unless there is a risk factor, doesnt make a lot of sense to me. Especially as by definition for any reccomended screening test there is a risk factor though that risk might “just” be age.
If you are saying not to do extra screening that isnt medically reccomended (“no risk factors”) as in ““new full body screening exams”” then yes we all agree
