Should You Get an Annual Health Checkup?
Research reveals that the benefits may not be worth the risk
Physicians and patients have come to expect the annual checkup as a routine part of care.
“However, considerable research has not demonstrated a substantial benefit,” notes a discussion paper published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The result is a revolt against the tradition of the periodic checkup. “Even the Society for General Internal Medicine advised primary care physicians to avoid ‘routine general health checks for asymptomatic adults,’” the paper notes.
As I discuss in a video made on this topic, routine checkups do seem to make sense. But, historically, medical practice has included all sorts of interventions that seemed to make sense, but were later to have significant side effects. One example is hormone replacement therapy for menopause, which was later found to increase risks of breast cancer, blood clots, heart disease, and stroke.
Friends of Hospice have awarded a grant to Whitman Hospital and Medical Clinics for end-of-life care.
The nearly 5,000 dollar grant will be used to enhance the Colfax hospital’s Comfort Care Family and Patient Suites. The funds will buy local Ken Carper Photography featuring the Palouse, therapeutic gliders, educational materials and new furniture and appliances to create a welcoming space for patients and families.
