Is the medical examination useful? The question is complex. Those who support physical examination believe that physical examination is omnipotent, and everyone needs frequent physical examination; Those who oppose medical examinations think that medical examinations are deceptive, and even the more they do it, the faster they die.
For example, Ni Haixia, a genius in traditional Chinese medicine, said: "There are many stupid people who only believe in Western medicine numbers and don't believe in their own feelings."
"You don't need to check, you just scare yourself, Western medicine has to scare you, so that there is a way to control you";
Ni Haixia also said, "What if you are a loser and covet your father's property, but your father is very long-lived and cannot die?
Now let me teach you a good method, you take your father to a Western medical health check-up every six months, which can not only show that you love your father very much and don't want him to die, so you take him for a check-up, this excuse will be agreed by everyone.
I tell you that in less than two years, your father will die in a Western medicine hospital, and I promise that your father will praise your filial piety before he dies, so that you can inherit his inheritance as a matter of course."
So is the medical examination useful? The question is more complicated.
In the first case, if you are an elderly person, your economic conditions are relatively poor, and you don't have medical insurance, then you can do the most basic and simple physical examination, such as blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipids and blood routine checks, to see if there is any problem in this regard.
If you have high blood pressure, then let the doctor prescribe some blood pressure medicine, which does not cost much but has a great effect, otherwise the blood pressure cannot be controlled, and you will have a stroke hemiplegia, and you will be affected by your children.
Why doesn't this situation advocate a comprehensive check-up, including cancer screening? Because the economic conditions of these elderly people are not very good, the examination needs to cost a lot of money, which makes their financial burden even heavier.
More importantly, once these people are tested and tumor-related information, they have neither social security nor a lot of money for treatment, and they are afraid of deterioration if they are not treated, so they are nervous and worried, which will make their health deteriorate rapidly.
Sometimes it is said that so-and-so said that he was scared to death by cancer, and most of them belong to this situation, no money, no insurance, and fear of cancer.
If an elderly person in his seventies or eighties, who has no medical insurance, does not have much money, and is in good health, he does not need to do a comprehensive physical examination, just go with the flow, and maybe he can live a long life.
In the second case, if the family conditions are okay, there is medical insurance, and the age is not very old, then you can do a more comprehensive physical examination regularly, including some cancer screening.
Why do you need to do a detailed screening, because it will find out all the possible hidden dangers of the disease and nip it in the bud.
WHO believes that about one-third of cancers can be detected early and cured, indicating that physical examinations are useful and necessary.
Like the example given by Ni Haixia above, the conclusion is actually the opposite.
If this person has no money, but has frequent medical examinations, then he may really die early;
But he is very rich, so he can have a good medical examination, the more detailed and comprehensive the better, because if there is something wrong with the examination, the best treatment can be used immediately.
is like the gambling king Stanley Ho, in fact, he is taking money to support his life.
Therefore, the ending that Ni Haixia said is actually another thing: the son gave the old father a physical examination so intimately, and the old father was moved, who will not give this property to his son?
In fact, from Ni Haixia, Hu Wanlin, Qu Limin, Zhang Wuben, Ma Yueling, Zhongliba and other "masters", I found a rule, that is, they are very repulsive to Western medicine.
For example, Hu Wanlin said that AIDS is a fart!
Ma Yueling claimed that Western medicine is a headache doctor for head and foot pain, and she herself can not only use raw loaches to treat ALS, but also cancer and AIDS!
Zhang Wuben said that 90 percent of high blood pressure and diabetes are misdiagnosed by Western medicine, and these diseases are actually very easy to treat.
