I was surprised to hear from several people living abroad that in Demark a colonoscopy is considered to be a higher risk procedure, and as such is only done when indicated for by test results or symptoms. It makes me suspicious of the let’s do it for everyone over 45 thing here in the US. Money money money money….you know? Maybe there is solid science to support it, but so much research is funded and influenced by the corporate industrial medical complex these days, it’s getting difficult to trust findings.
