Overdiagnosis, the Concept / PE the Example - Jerome Hoffman, MD

[@BoloBouncer]

One of the most important videos on the internet and it's tucked away down in the corner with a handful of views.

Isn’t it strange?

This is the most refreshing lecture in medicine I’ve heard in a long time ! Thank you EM and Doctors who keep it real 🙏🏼

Excellent critique! Results in imbalance between expenditure and outcomes.

Thank you Jerry Hoffman.

The least we all should do is try instilling this reality in our patients and hopefully in next few years they will be with us in saying no to unnecessary work up.

The problem I see with this position is that as a patient I am an individual and I don't really care about statistics and I'd rather know the status of my body than be ignorant, testing doesn't mean you must have surgery, if the patients are dumb and agree to surgery without second thought that is not my problem as an individual patient. It seems for some reason that he believes the only possible reaction to a positive screening is surgery, as if we were automatons without agency, so it's better to leave people in the dark. Quite the false syllogism. That is to me the real problem of Medicine.
