To be more specific
As I said I was addressing the full body scans
There are those that advertise that they can do “full body scans” to check you out and find latent issues
I don’t remember the specific groups or doctors that advertise this, but they tend to be high end NYC concierge type practices (I’ve had a few of my patients go for these scans)
These are non symptomatic patients who want to see if they have any issues, and “address them” before they become big
If you google full body scan you will find what I am discussing
Obviously , an MD ordered test bears merit
But
Lets keep in mind
In this litigious society, more and more unnecessary tests are being ordered to cover ourselves
