and how many folks will avoid it - there are so many tests that can be run on feces/urine to monitor health, and catch things when your body is acting poorly and health conditions change, I actually bet these will become mainstream someday (for home use).

Most do not understand that testing testing testing leads to interventions that you did not need and those interventions do more damage than good.

further... who does the monitoring? If it is a healthcare person there is an OBLIGATION to intervene if on any parameter there is an Out-Of-Range value - the HCP has to "do something" else they are legal liable.

Hence the current bizzaro situation where most grey hair HCPs are like "dont test unless you are already willing to intervene",

Thank you lawyers!

It’s bad enough as it is. VA people are always trying to pin a PTSD label on me. It’s getting ridiculous. My doctor is okay but it’s the people at the local center that keep pushing it and extolling the virtues of the addictive drugs they take. I quit going. It used to be that you could just talk about things that bother you. Now they are trying to medicate everything.

That’s where this is all going. Force mental health treatment of everyone.
