This doctor throws the evidence behind screening tests out the window
Dr Thomas Stuttaford defies the evidence and offers the following tests for routine screening:
Annual haematology, biochemistry, blood pressure “every time a patient visits a doctor, even when you’re in for flu,” annual resting and exercise electrocardiograms, electron beam cardiac scanning, annual mammography, prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing, computerised body mole mapping, and ophthalmoscopy—all are on his long list.
He naively states that anxiety is the only reason why doctors aren’t as comprehensive as him. This is clearly not the case.
