"Breast cancer and cardiac irregularities are often asymptomatic. The life of a close friend of mine was saved by a regular routine of annual mammograms. Another was saved by a routine colonoscopy. Perhaps the quality of the examinations should be questioned, and not the quantity."
Yes - certain tests are of proven value (mamograms for women over 40, cholesterol for everyone over 40, checks for colon cancer in people over XXXXX, what hasnt been proven usefull is a general annual physical in a physicians office for everyone
