> In my 40s I asked my doc what I should get screened for and when. He said to wait until 50.

What did you want your doctor to say, instead?

[pazimzadeh]

what do you think? what do you think he's going to say when he has stage 4 cancer?

[bonsai_spool]

I just don't understand why the doctor would say anything different than what the national screening guidelines suggest?

[pazimzadeh]

I think he's arguing that guidelines are dumb/outdated

[bonsai_spool]

I think the guidelines are fine - we can't stop everyone's disease and that's not what the purpose of these screening tests are.

[pazimzadeh]

that's because you don't have stage 4 cancer

Several friends broke their arms falling off of swings as children. This maybe means that children should no longer be allowed to have access to swings?
