Laboratory doctor, uncovering an 'examination scam', an unnecessary inspection item

According to the survey, the number of people suffering from cancer in China has reached 30% to 40% of the total number of people in the country. More and more people are suffering from terrible malignant tumors, which has also caused many people to fall into panic and endless fear and worry.

Of course, for these people aged 40 to 50 years old and above, it is best to have regular physical examinations, because this age group is a high-incidence period of diseases, and various medical or surgical diseases are prone to occur in this group of people.

Therefore, it is very important to carry out a physical examination. It can detect some diseases that do not cause symptoms at an early stage, and can enable people to deal with and treat them in a timely manner, so that the disease can be controlled faster and better.

For example, for some malignant tumors, most of the malignant tumors have no obvious symptoms in the early stage, but once symptoms appear, most of them have entered the middle and late stages.

The effect of early treatment of malignant tumors is obviously stronger than that of middle and advanced stage, and the survival time of patients is also significantly longer. If physical examination can be detected early, it will be very helpful for the prognosis of patients.

There are also many people in life who have not done physical examinations, especially more elderly people, who feel that their bodies are very strong and there is no need to waste money. What do you think? Do you find the checkup useful?

Although the physical examination has many benefits, the most effective method is to use the right method. Then, among the many inspections, there is an inspection item that is not necessary. Come and learn about it!

Laboratory doctor, uncovering an "examination scam", an unnecessary inspection item

Zhang Ligang, chairman and CEO of iKang Group, once exposed, such a scandal about the medical examination industry, Zhang Ligang said:

In many informal medical examination industries, not only the examination technology is not up to standard, but the blood samples drawn for the examiners during the examination will be directly discarded, and then fake medical examination forms are forged to trick the examiners into earning high profits.

Not all doctors have a conscience. Some doctors use people's fear of cancer to launch some very expensive inspection items, such as PET-CT inspection.

PET-CT：

PET-CT systemic cancer screening is a test that perfectly integrates PET and CT, and provides detailed functional and metabolic molecular information of lesions by PET, so as to sensitively and accurately determine the lesion location of patients.

The emergence of PET-CT is another revolution in medical imaging, which is recognized and widely recognized by the medical community, and can be called "the crown of modern medical high-tech"

PET-CT examination has a high detection rate for cancer tumors, but it cannot completely detect cancer in the whole body. It needs to be supplemented with other examination equipment. It is a functional imaging technology and has better resolution for tumors.

The damage of PET-CT to the body mainly refers to the damage of rays to the human body. The rays roughly include two parts, one part is the radiation damage to the human body caused by the CT machine used in the scanning process.

Another part is the damage to the human body caused by the radionuclides taken by the patient during the examination.

The key is that this inspection will bring certain side effects to the human body, especially the high radiation content, and even cause some health risks.

The cost of various inspections is much higher than that of other physical examination items, and even reaches tens of thousands of yuan. Therefore, when you go to the hospital for a physical examination, you should do a targeted physical examination.

In addition, for ordinary people, if there is no tumor cell gene mutation in the body, and the cancer cells are oppressed, this test is completely meaningless.

Moreover, when doing this examination, a large amount of radiation will be transmitted to the body, especially for elderly friends who are relatively weak, it will have the opposite effect.

Scandals in the medical examination industry

At the annual meeting of Chinese business leaders, Zhang Ligang, chairman and CEO of iKang Group, made a shocking statement and blew up industry scandals. Drain it, and get the results directly", because "the real proportion of cancer is only 3 in 1,000".

In the whole process of seeing a doctor, examination, treatment, and medication, we often hear complaints, "This examination has been repeated several times" or "This medicine has been prescribed too much."

The reason is that the common people do not know medicine, let alone those so-called advanced medical technology, equipment, and we will check whatever the doctor asks us to check, and we will eat whatever the doctor asks us to eat.

If you show the slightest doubt in the process, you will receive a four-word gift - at your own risk.

This is overmedical! Many people take home a bunch of medicines every time they see a doctor, and they can't finish it. Excessive medical treatment and excessive physical examination are not for the people, but for the RMB!
