In my clinic’s waiting room, the magazines are full of such stories—South Korea screened so much that they found tiny cancers that would never have harmed anyone, leading to unnecessary surgeries. But here, with my insurance, I chase every scan and test; peace of mind is a luxury I can afford. My own aunt, healthy as an ox, had a full thyroid removed after a scan found a speck, and I was relieved, not questioning. So, while experts argue it’s overdiagnosis, from where I sit, it feels like being thorough, a safety net my premiums pay for.
