further response mr galal you seem perhaps frustrated this is understandable since you work for medcan and you surely want the wikipedia article to include only promotional information however wikipedia strives to tell the whole truth if wikipedia strives to tell the whole truth then you should say that even though the danish meta study brings up valid arguments regarding physical examinations and their impact on health outcomes generally speaking physical examinations are widely accepted and useful healthcare screening tools i suspect every first world country recommends medicals with a general practitioner your comment is stating that these countries health organizations and policy makers are incorrect and that medicals schools are also incorrect in their lessons and we may as well change how medicine is practiced and treat people when they get sick not try to catch disease early the meta study itself is fairly recent just two years old it was brought to us thanks to the prestigious cochrane collaboration i see no reason why a danish meta study would be inapplicable to canada though you are welcome to try to convince me otherwise i won't dispute your point that most people in first world countries undergo routine physical examinations and i won't dispute that they are customary but have they been proven to be useful not to my knowledge this is an astonishingly closed minded comment medcan alone has hundreds of cases where we've saved peoples lives improved there lives provided them insight for future care etc the word useful is vague useful as in leading a healthier life absolutely useful as in keeping someone alive who has a terminal illness probably not i think there is more than enough here for you to understand why we have such an issue with this comment on the medcan wikipedia page if this was an encyclopedia there is not a chance it would be posted there is no facts or evidence that the danish study is true and medcan's model of care is not just to diagnose but to also help people through lifestyle modifcation and coaching
