Allowing Pharma to advertise on TV is yet another assault on ''appropriate' health care.
During my career as a teaching hospital radiologist, I was fortunate in never being confronted patients who specified which company's contrast they should receive.
Speaking of thyroid and other intrathoracic [and hematologic] malignancies, irradiation of the thymus in neonates and infants was routine in the US from the late '20s to the early '50s. I believe eventual thyroid malignancies were 5X that in non-radiated persons.
When medically-appropriate, CT and MRI imaging may reveal incidentalomas. Can we imagine how many pseudo-lesions will appear in unnecessary whole-body MRI examinations?
I find that a CT scan is done before physical exam seems many no longer touch patients. I had a boy with open fracture of tibia. The sooner addressed less likely infection a dic in Er ordered a ct scan cause urune analysis showed RED bkiid cells. I said I’m from Unuversity and ct is required. I Saudi it’s from the catheter. No. I said physical exam. He said not the university protocol, mikes west of us un eastern Mi.
I went to see if book released here on big box dealer, no. But had a herbal remedy. Decades ag while in ortho overseas in Bhutan, I met two nice people from LA who were searching for herbs to see if they could use them intriguing.

I'm with you on this
Previous ground truth post on aging/brain heath dogma being incorrect. Is another example of the uncertainty of what we really know.
