Where is your line on medical testing?

Asked by canidmajor (21249points) June 2nd, 2018

More and more these days we are enjoined by physicians and loved ones to have regular testing done for so many possible medical circumstances. Scans for this, probes for that, scrape this area, grow a culture from that one.
How are you about doing all the recommended tests? Diligent? Cavalier? Somewhere in the middle?

I know that early detection is good, etc etc, I’m not asking why we should take all these tests, I’m asking how you, personally, approach the concept of regular medical evaluation.

Is your attitude predicated on your age? The general state of your health? Finances? Bullying from loved ones? Dislike of such procedures? Not feeling the need?

Thanks
