Sigh. And then came home from said appointment reporting that, among other things, dr said she is due for (major invasive screening test requiring sedation). I was thinking, yeah, but that has risks, and even though you are having “issues” with said body system, the doctors are not going to offer you anything to fix the issues other than drugs; do you really want to go on drugs?! Not to mention there are multiple issues that need resolving (and, with proper, straightforward treatment amd self-discipline can be resolved in several months time) before undergoing sedation for a somewhat not necessary procedure. Sigh. Bang head on wall. Sigh.
And not to mention said issues would likely resolve over time with offered alternative therapies. That are both simple and cheap, and also safe and effective, for real.

I agree
This whole debacle has me rethinking ‘preventative care’… as well
which I now view as big business
Yet another huge money making arm of the medical cartel
Do healthy people with no family history of risk factors… really need screening?
That’s certainly what we’ve been told in a big flashy media campaign… you all must get mammograms and colonoscopies…
Healthy people
Exposed to radiation and sedation … I’m no longer drinking all the Kool-aid
