One famous medical researcher has claimed that the introduction of MRI scanning has caused untold mischief (in addition to being overused) in that it often detects clinically insignificant abnormalities (incidentalomas) which often lead to further tests and unnecessary treatments.
Yes, but it pads out the bottom line (profit) just fine. Since the 'Plandemic' forced most doctors to choose between ethics or retaining their licenses I suspect the rest of Pandora's box of mischief has been unleashed...overcharging perhaps being the least of it.
The older I get the more I hate being right.
You other Hypertensive people: mine is a crapshoot every reading despite carefully tailored medication, good diet and exercise. One more thing I studiously DON'T worry about.
