> Sending 1,000 people to CT to identify 5 tumors will cause 50 other complications.

This is something frequently missing from discussions like this.

Something that has a fairly small per-patient risk like a CT scan, causes far more pain than reduced missed diagnoses would solve if applied across the whole population.
