Me and my husband usually get our medical checkups done once a year. Some things we discover about our bodies are so enlightening. But sometimes I wonder if it is really needed. I had once seen a statement from a doctor where he said that the most foolish thing for a doctor is to check the whole body when a patient is sick as there is bound to be something wrong in the body and we may spend time treating something that is actually not the root problem.

Do you guys agree we should get our tests done regularly or do you think this is just another way to get us to do this stuff and buy medicines?
