Bingo!! Stop taking your children to “well checks”. When you take your 7 year old car, to the Dealer for a certain mileage check, is there ever a time that you drive away without them telling you need a new something or something needs attention???
Do you go to a Lawyer for a check up to see if you need to file a lawsuit that you didn’t know about?

I worked in healthcare for over 20 years. "Well checks" are nothing more than a process to get you back into the clinic for a billable event. Pediatricians are notorious for this because of the fact the ages they treat don’t have chronic conditions like adults. Big Food and Big Pharma are doing all they can to change that, but it doesn’t happen overnight so "well checks" are needed to pay the bills.
Good point - I hadn't thought about the fact that pediatricians aren't dealing with the chronic conditions. Although, in recent years, there has certainly been an uptick in the four A's - Asthma, allergies, autoimmune diseases, and autism that should help their bottom line.
I’m liking so many in this article my finger is bleeding 🤣 I love you all and your critical thinking skills. God bless each one of you and keep speaking up. Don’t stop! Some say there’s a lot of talk but no action. But talking out loud about what-must-not-be-named IS taking action and brave at that during these times. We give each other courage so that when an opportunity (crossroad) to actually physically do something we are equipped with the necessary courage. So I Like. Like. Like!!
And Fred mine is that my “like” button is disabled (as it is for many of us that have complained of the same problem.) Beyond frustrating when I do not want to comment on EVERY post I like, but do want to add my approval by clicking the “like” button.
I wonder if anyone is working on this problem, or even knows it exists, or who can we even contact to fix it? I see this same complaint on OTHER SUBSTACKS besides C&C.
There are foolish people that do take older cars to the dealership for "wellness checks". An acquaintance asked for advice on this just the other day as he had taken the car to a dealership for an oil change (first mistake). He asked them to look it over and the came back with $10k in "recommended repairs". None of them were warranted except a minor coolant leak which they were overcharging by a factor of three to repair.
A concept with initial good intentions, preventative health care or preventative maintenance, has been completely corrupted by a unethical system to fool people into spending money on stuff they don't need. They use fear-mongering and the customers ignorance to pressure them. It amazes me that most people still can't see this and take this stuff seriously rather than laugh at these people and walk out.
I've never understood why people see their doctors for this weird thing called a "wellness check." If you are well, why would you go? And these days, even if I don't feel well, I don't go. 😂
I am 83 and we grew up in a time when kids didn't get rushed to the ER for every little thing. The only time I saw a doctor was for a Polio shot and once he came to the house when I had a bad case of measles. When we got cuts or scrapes, it was iodine and a bandaid. We weren't at all poor; rushing to doctors just wasn't done.
I only saw a doctor once in my life in my childhood: to get some necessary stitches on a cut. It never occurred to my mother to take me or my siblings to the doctor for normal, childhood illnesses. She certainly wouldn’t have taken us to a doctor for a “wellness check”. She knew if we were well or not already.
My daughter does have chronic issues, which I 100% believe are from childhood vaccines. My functional doctor told me to play the game to get the insurance to get blood work done so we could keep an eye on her.
This reminds me of my mom's strategy for a pushy salesperson who wanted her to buy an extended warranty. She told him to that she had every confidence that the product was such good quality, an extended warranty wasn’t necessary. He didn’t know what to say back 😆
The irony of doing a hard sell job on a product only to turn around and claim that the product really is a piece of crap that you can’t expect to last, so you need to pay for an extended warranty!
Walmart checkout cash register prompt: "Would you like to buy an extended warranty on your new flat screen TV?" That would be the TV which will last for ten years of normal use.
Actually they even ask if you want to buy an extended warranty for that mechanical pencil you just bought or that SD card. 🤣 It’s for everything now. $15 toaster? Want a warranty? Um no thanks I’ll just buy another if it breaks 😂
As an old lady on Medicare, I have had several calls from my insurance provider to have them come and do a "home health visit", they'll give me a $15 bonus if I do it.
My thoughts since CV is, if they have to pay you for it, it's probably not in your best interest.
Medicaid does the same. They will pay you a bonus to have an annual dr visit. Bribery 101. If someone wanted to have an annual appointment, no bribe "bonus" needed. All bs.
Another cause of the increase in childhood diseases is the obsession with cleanliness and handwashing with antibiotic soaps. I am not advocating for filth, but when we kids played in the dirt during the 1950s we returned the next day for more of the same, still healthy and stronger. Our moms did not try to trap us in antiseptic bubble suits, which seems to be commonplace today.
In addition to yes playing outside all day and in the woods behind the house as a child, I am a lifelong nail biter (tried to quit but impossible) so why am I rarely if ever sick? I do wash my hands but you know those fingers are always in my mouth. PS. I hate those sanitizers and I never use those hand dryers in public restrooms.

They deliver the cause of the chronic illness and autoimmune diseases.
And if at all possible, get you on some meds for one thing or another, whether you need them or not.
Pediatricians make big bucks if they can vaccinate a high percentage of the children. I tell people to avoid pediatricians like the plague!
My only regret is that I have but one "like" to give to this post!

I think you’re right. She will be a senior next year. We should just be done with them since they aim to injure.

Oh how I miss Common Sense😢

It's like convid. How would you even know you had it without a test?
Yes!!!!!

Right?? 😂😆 My mom was very savvy to use that tactic 😁
Sounds like the vaxx program.
Last shot didn't work, you need to take another.
Yes! THIS ⬆️

They make sure you don’t have fall risks inside the house and basically check your blood pressure. Not really helpful unless you want company.
Medicaid does the same. They will pay you a bonus to have an annual dr visit. Bribery 101. If someone wanted to have an annual appointment, no bribe "bonus" needed. All bs.
yeah man, let kids be kids. they get runny noses for a reason.
there seems to be a misunderstanding; all of us will shuffle this mortal coil.
there's just nothing to disambiguate and children would be better off knowing this.
how else are they going to evaluate their own risk?

Could not agree more. There are times when it doesn't make sense to wash your hands....especially in some public restrooms!
GOOD POINT. "Free screenings," too, are the same. Utter B.S.
Hum, something new? I'm BLOCKED from liking your comment...
With logic like that, you have come up with the perfect handle.
Good one!
