Did you know that 90% of medical examinations are inaccurate or unnecessary? It’s time to stop wasting your money on unnecessary medical examinations!

 

We are often advised to do a medical examination at least once a year, but is it truly necessary? What exactly are we checking for? Is it to screen for cancer? Or perhaps diabetes or high cholesterol levels?

 

As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. Shouldn't we aim to prevent diseases through these yearly medical examinations? There are tons of people who go through a medical examination every year, and was unfortunately found to have cancer, majority of the time it’s too late for first line treatments. I often hear cancer patients say: "I have been doing medical examinations every year, how did I suddenly get cancer? Why wasn’t it detected earlier?" This is enough to prove that ordinary medical examinations are a waste of time and money. Shouldn't we know if our health is at risk at least 5 years in advance through medical examinations? Wouldn’t that be ideal as we can then prepare to prevent the occurrence of said diseases in advance? Shouldn’t that be the true purpose of a medical check up?

 

For the sake of increasing revenue, some companies have devised cheap and easy to sell medical packages to maximize the company’s interests. They are leveraging on cheap prices to attract customers. Majority of these packages include tests that are not relevant and are a complete waste of your money. Chances are these said tests won’t provide any useful information nor make much of a difference to your overall health.

 Even when you’re there to collect and review your blood test report, chances are the doctor will hastily end the session and send you away after saying a few words to maximize the number of customers seen per day. The whole process would take less than 10 minutes and the only outcome of the session would be the doctor telling you to pay more attention to your diet and exercise more. But what else can you do to maximize your health? What other steps can you take?

 

DON'T BE SILLY! Stop wasting money on these ineffective medical examinations! Today, we invite Dr. Thong Yung Chen, a senior doctor who specializes in preventive medicine, to share with you what exactly should be checked in a physical examination, how to prevent the occurrence of diseases 5 years in advance and why do doctors need at least 30 minutes to explain a blood test report to patients?
