Evidence-based medicine / Complete or Annual Physicals
Medicine, like everything else, changes. Many tests that you may have been asked to do in the past may be now unnecessary or not needed as frequently as before. Over-investigating and over-treatment is harmful - it can make you sick, cause anxiety, and may lead to unpleasant and invasive follow-up tests that do not change your health outcome. In addition, it may be a waste of your time.
An Annual Physical is one of those doctor visits that is now considered unnecessary and potentially harmful. Refer to this guideline as an example.
Preventative health measures have replaced Annual Check-Ups. They only need to take place at defined intervals. The measure undertaken in our clinic is listed here. This is based on most up to date medical evidence.
