Because the article talks about med exams like it includes everything. It will make people skip their annual breast exams, colonoscopies, blood exams and so many other things that should be done annual and they said lives. Thus, the article is indirectly killing people. Yes the author. From his ignorance.
On the other hand, because this article exists, I read these comments. And I have concluded that there are probably some tests that I should do, although I'm not sure exactly what yet. But I'm going to get some kind of test. As opposed to none, like before. Take heart.
