Why is that?

  On some thread we were talking about how early diagnosis is a life saver and companies like Prenuvo are doing something nice. He was 100% opposed, tried to be smaht by arguing something like more screening = more false positives and he came to the dumbest conclusion that no one should do tests until they have symptoms or something, lmao. A prime example of the "expert" illusion.

    Just me and MD Anderson, I guess. https://www.mdanderson.org/cancerwise/should-you-get-a-full-body-scan-to-look-for-cancer.h00-159623379.html https://www.mdanderson.org/cancerwise/should-you-get-a-full-... And the University of Michigan: https://www.michiganmedicine.org/health-lab/whole-body-mris-arent-beneficial-they-seem https://www.michiganmedicine.org/health-lab/whole-body-mris-... And Lisa Doggett for NPR: https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2024/06/18/nx-s1-5009259/full-body-scan-mri-prevention-cancer-screening https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2024/06/18/nx... And the Canadian Medical Association: https://choosingwiselycanada.org/should-you-get-a-full-body-mri/ https://choosingwiselycanada.org/should-you-get-a-full-body-... And Dana Farber: https://blog.dana-farber.org/insight/2023/08/full-body-mri-scans-what-you-need-to-know/ https://blog.dana-farber.org/insight/2023/08/full-body-mri-s... I'm stopping before clicking onto the 2nd Google search page. So, like, two things here. First: all that happened here is: I read a lot of stuff about this, and "don't get a full body scan" is a super common message actual experts deliver. I remembered, and repeated it on a thread. Second: how weird is it that you somehow remembered some otherwise-long-forgotten slapfight thread and brought it up unbidden like this? You should charge me rent if I'm going to live in your brain like this.
