Скачать или смотреть The 3 "Mandatory" Tests to Refuse After 70 (A Doctor Explains)

Too many adults over 70 are told a test is “mandatory” — even when the evidence says the risks or downstream procedures may outweigh the benefits. This video explains the three screenings most people should question (and often decline) at this age, plus when they actually *do* make sense.

If you’ve ever felt pressured into a test “just in case,” this is your roadmap to safer, smarter care. We’ll cover the data in plain English and give you a simple script to use with your doctor, so you can protect both your health and your peace of mind.

In this video you’ll learn:
✨ The 3 “mandatory” tests to push back on after 70 — and the red flags for overtesting
✨ PSA screening after 70 (average-risk men): small benefit, higher false positives and unnecessary biopsies
✨ Colonoscopy beyond 75 (average risk, prior negative screens): when to stop — and safer stool-based alternatives
✨ Carotid artery ultrasound in people without symptoms: why routine screening can trigger risky cascades
✨ When these tests *do* make sense (personal/family risk, symptoms, prior findings)
✨ A shared-decision checklist to take to your next appointment

Stop saying yes by default. Start making evidence-based decisions that fit your body, history, and goals.
