Is the medical examination money-saving and money laundering?
You may think that there is no disease and no pain, and there is no abnormality in the body, so why spend money on regular physical check-ups every year? Although the annual check-up will cost about 1,000 yuan, it actually has the opportunity to help you save more than 1 million yuan in medical expenses, and this “health investment” is actually very cost-effective in the long run!
Hong Kong data: The cost of colorectal cancer treatment is about 400,000
If you wait for symptoms to appear before seeking medical treatment in the hospital, it may be difficult to recover completely, and you can only undergo surgery and medication to control the disease, which will seriously affect your life. If you are unfortunate enough to get cancer, the treatment process is not only torturous, but also costly. Taking the most common colorectal cancer in Hong Kong as an example, the cost of endoscopy, surgery, doctor’s fee, hospitalization fee and miscellaneous expenses alone has exceeded 400,000 yuan, not counting about 20,000-30,000 yuan per month of targeted drug treatment.
The physical examination only checks for “geriatric diseases”? Young people have no part?
Nowadays, there are many diseases that tend to be younger, such as hypertension, diabetes, cerebrovascular disease and cancer, etc., do not think that young people will not get chronic diseases or major diseases, in fact, because most people’s living and eating habits are unhealthy, young people think that they “have the capital” and eat and drink to their heart’s content to “burn their lives”, as a result, there are some long-term diseases in their thirties.
According to a study in Hong Kong, according to the data of all public hospitals between 2000 and 2009, the incidence of coronary heart disease between the ages of 15 and 24 increased by 10.7% per year, and 70% of patients under the age of 45 with myocardial infarction did not feel symptoms such as chest pain before the onset of the disease.
“Healthy Investment” is the most worthwhile investment in life
There is a cloud in the ancient “Yellow Emperor’s Neijing”: “Shanggong cures the disease, and does not cure the disease, which is also said.” This means that the best stage of treatment for the disease should be in the early stages of the disease or before the disease has occurred. No one can guarantee their health, and in the face of uncertain risks, spending up to thousands to 10,000 yuan a year for a professional and complete physical examination has the opportunity to save up to one million yuan in medical expenses, which is definitely a long-term investment that is beneficial to the body and harmless, and can also avoid the pain of long-term drug treatment, killing two birds with one stone.
