[quote=Anonymous]We also have a really different approach to medicine than we did 2 generations ago. My grandparents only went to their GP for everything and probably got about a quarter of the test/scans/lab work that we all get regularly. Now, at age 47, I feel like I get tests run all the time and inevitably something comes back to follow up on that requires a specialist. People also spend a lot more time with regular appointments at dermatology, optometry, allergists, PT, behavioral health, etc. for pretty run of the mill things that I think 50 years ago were just ignored or dealt with. I'm not saying it's wrong, but it creates this huge backlog. And I wonder if we're just making people money and causing ourselves stress? Or are we actually caring for our health? Can see either side of that argument. [/quote]
