> 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.
Not only that, but you have red herrings. Going down the rabbit hole chasing random anomalies doesn’t solve the patients problem either!
