“If the doctor’s opinion is that full screening should be done on someone without any risk factors”
Lol I hear. Though that doctor is a bit of a quack. So it could be restated as don’t listen to quacks, but I hear fair enough.
“I don’t think any legitimate authorities say that an ordinary sick person
should not see a doctor. ”
There are but my point is that is consistent I’m not saying I agreed or that anyone today would recommend that.
Just that I understand that approach.
” I also don’t understand why not screening unless there is a specific reason to doesn’t make sense to you.”
I’m not sure what you mean by “a specific reason” no screening test is done for no reason. The reason is a risk factor say based on lifestyles like smoking, family history or age. (something like getting a CT scan for pain is not a screening test and isn’t what we are discussing.
