1) IS THERE GOOD EVIDENCE THAT MASS MAMOGRAPHY CHANGES THE NATURAL HISTORY OF BREAST CÁNCER ?

2) DO THE BENEFITS OF MAMMOGRAPHY OUTWEIGH THE HARM WHICH MAY ENSUE ?

CRIBADO EXCESIVOOVERSCREENING

Cuando se emplea un método de cribado de un modo excesivo, abusivo o innecesario, los daños que provoca pueden superar a los beneficios. Overscreening is an abusive, unnecessary or excessive use of screening producing more harm than benefits. (“overscreening” is not included as a MESH term)

La medicina preventiva muestra su arrogancia en tres elementos. Primero es agresivamente asertiva, persiguiendo a individuos asintomáticos, diciéndoles lo que deben hacer para mantenerse saludables. Ocasionalmente invocando la fuerza de la ley

(vacunas, cinturones de seguridad), prescribiendo y proscribiendo a pacientes individuales y ciudadanos en general de cualquier edad o estado. En segundo lugar es presuntuosa, confiando en que las intervenciones en general producirán más beneficio que daño a aquellos que las acepten y adhieran a ellas. Finalmente la medicina preventiva es intolerante, atacando a los que cuestionan el valor de sus recomendaciones

Preventive medicine displays all 3 elements of arrogance.

First, it is aggressively assertive, pursuing symptomless individuals and telling them what they must do to remain healthy. Occasionally invoking the force of law (immunizations, seat belts), it prescribes and proscribes for both individual patients and the general citizenry of every age and stage.

Second, preventive medicine is presumptuous, confident that the interventions it espouses will, on average, do more good than harm to those who accept and adhere to them.

Finally, preventive medicine is overbearing, attacking those who question the value of its recommendations.

“LA MUERTE DE LA MEDICINA CON ROSTRO HUMANO” SKRABANEK P.Este libro trata de los peligros del culto a la salud, de los peligros de una ideología de “salud nacional”. Todos tenemos derecho a hacer lo que queramos con nuestras vidas, a tener autonomía para buscar nuestra propia felicidad, a vivir libremente como el Salvaje en el “Bravo Nuevo Mundo” de Huxley. Las ideologías totalitarias emplean la retórica de la libertad y la felicidad basadas en falsas promesas de un futuro feliz para todos… ¿Es un hombre libre y moribundo más feliz que un esclavo sano?
